With the flatboat through Amberg's medieval water landscape
The public flatboat ride on the Vils connects city history, nature experience, and Bavarian river romance. On board the traditional flat boat, you glide through the historic old town of Amberg and discover a historical transport route from an unusual perspective.
History to touch on the Vils
The flatboat reminds us of the transport barges that once carried iron and salt. As the water flows quietly past the boat, the local history surrounding Amberg's medieval trade routes unfolds right before your eyes.
Route through the old town and to the Drahthammerwiese
The trip goes from the ship bridge through the old town and under the distinctive city glasses towards the former state garden exhibition area. During the one-hour round trip, you return to the starting point. A simple trip lasts about 30 minutes and ends at the Drahthammerwiese.
Slow-paced discovery experience
Gentle water splashing, historic riverbanks, and the view of Amberg's cityscape create a relaxed atmosphere. The flatboat ride is suitable for culture enthusiasts, families, photography fans, and anyone who wants to experience a city tour with a special change of perspective.
