Start your weekend relaxed from the Schiffbrücke, glide silently past the medieval city wall and enjoy cultural enrichment firsthand – with a view of city glasses, towers, and the vibrant river landscape.
Authentic Atmosphere on Medieval Transport Routes
The flatboat, a traditional flat-bottomed boat, connects local history with nature enjoyment. Your guide vividly describes the significance of the Vils as a lifeline for Amberg, explains architectural details of the old town, and shows hidden spots along the bank. History you can touch, carried by the gentle splashing of the Vils.
