With the Plätte through Ambergs medieval waterways
On May 17, 2027, the public Plättenfahrt invites you to a special discovery experience on the Vils. On board the flat wooden boat, you will experience Amberg from an unusual perspective and follow historical transport routes that once carried iron and salt.
Experience city history from the water
The trip starts at the ship bridge in Amberg's old town. From there, the Plätte glides through the city spectacles towards the former state garden show area. The city wall, bridges, historical buildings, and the green banks of the Vils create an impressive connection of cultural heritage, nature, and local history.
A route with historical character
The public Plättenfahrt takes you along a route that visibly showcases Amberg's development as a trade and economic hub. The traditional flat boat is reminiscent of the transport barges of past centuries. As the water flows quietly past the boat, the view of the old town and its distinctive city spectacles opens up.
Slow-paced experience for culture enthusiasts
The round trip to the starting point lasts about one hour. A one-way trip is approximately 30 minutes long. The gentle splashing of the Vils, the historical city backdrop, and the authentic atmosphere make the Plättenfahrt a cultural enrichment for city travelers, families, and all those who want to get to know Amberg in depth.
Meeting point and practical tips
The embarkation takes place at the ship bridge in the Schiffgasse. The departure is scheduled for 2:00 PM. Tickets are available at the published event information at the Tourist Information Amberg as well as online. The trip takes place outdoors and is therefore particularly atmospheric in nice weather.
Conclusion: Discover Amberg in its original form
The public Plättenfahrt uniquely combines city tour, nature experience, and medieval history. Secure your spot and experience Amberg's old town where its trading history once began: on the Vils.
