Evening flat boat trip on the Vils – relax into the weekend
When the old town shines in the golden hour, your discovery experience on the historic flat boat begins. The public special trip Off to the Weekend combines enjoyment of nature, city history, and the unique atmosphere of the Vils into a cultural enrichment without haste.
Gently gliding between city walls and Vils meadows
From the dock at the ship bridge, the flat wooden boat glides silently past walls, towers, and enchanting riverbanks. The splashing of the water, the scent of the riverside vegetation, and the view of Amberg's silhouette create history you can touch.
Insider knowledge on board
Your guide from the Amberg Tourist Information explains medieval transport routes, the significance of the ship bridge, and connects sights such as the city wall, market, and the famous city glasses with lively anecdotes. Thus, local history becomes a vivid city tour experience on the water.
Comfortable route with clear orientation
Start and end points are at the ship bridge in Schiffgasse. The route follows the Vils into the green Vils meadows. For out-of-towners, the Tourist Information recommends boarding at the ship bridge; the dock is central, well-signposted, and close to the old town.
Important notes for your planning
The public flat boat is not barrier-free; due to space reasons, strollers, walkers, or wheelchairs cannot be accommodated. The trip takes place even in rain; cancellations are reserved in case of severe weather or personnel shortages. Tickets can be purchased online in advance or at the Amberg Tourist Information.
