Discover Amberg from the Water: A Journey through Time on the Vils
On October 5, 2027, visitors will experience Amberg from a special perspective. During the one-hour flat boat ride, the traditional flat boat, a shallow wooden vessel modeled after medieval designs, glides over the Vils and offers impressive views of the historic old town.
History to Touch on the Vils
The gentle splashing of the water, the historic city landscape, and the unique design of the wooden boat combine for a decelerated discovery experience. The flat boat reminds of those transport vessels that once carried goods such as iron and salt on the waterways of the region.
Route between Ship Bridge and Old Town
The ride starts and ends at the Ship Bridge in the Amberg Old Town. The route leads on the Vils through the city glasses towards the former state garden exhibition site and back. No stop is planned at Drahthammerwiese during this event. The return to the starting point makes the ride a comfortable round trip for culture enthusiasts, families, and photography fans.
Practical Information for Your Outing
Departure is on Tuesday, October 5, 2027, at 14:00. Return is expected around 15:00. Tickets are available through the Amberg Tourist Information and online. The regular price for the round trip is 10 euros per person according to the published tariff information. The flat boat is an open vessel; weather-appropriate clothing and sun protection are therefore part of the suitable equipment.
