Experience Amberg from the Water: Relaxed into the Weekend
When the historic old town of Amberg is bathed in the warm light of the evening, a special city tour on the Vils begins at the ship bridge. The flatboat ride starts into the weekend combines calm nature moments, regional history, and the authentic ambiance of a traditional flat wooden boat.
An Evening Break on the Vils
The flat slowly glides from the dock at the ship bridge through Amberg's old town. The gentle splashing of the water, the riverside landscape, and the view of the historic city create a de-stressed atmosphere. The ride offers a delightful discovery experience for couples, groups of friends, and anyone who wants to enjoy the start of the weekend.
Historical Perspectives on Amberg
The Vils has shaped Amberg for centuries and was once an important lifeblood of the city. During the approximately one-hour round trip, familiar landmarks reveal themselves from an unusual perspective. The city wall, old town, and the characteristic riverscape combine to create an impressive image of the cultural heritage of the Upper Palatinate.

The beginning and end of the flatboat ride are located at the ship bridge in the Amberg old town. The route leads along the Vils and back to the starting point. The event venue is outdoors; the ride takes place even in the rain. In case of continuous rain or severe weather, the organizer may cancel the ride.
