With the Punt Through Amber's History
The traditional punt recalls the flat cargo boats that were once used for the transport of goods on the rivers of the region. As the boat glides quietly over the Vils, historic buildings, bridges, and the distinctive city spectacles come into view from an unusual perspective.
