Experience History on the Vils: The Public Flatboat Trip in Amberg

The Public Flatboat Trip takes you on a historical freight barge through Amberg's Old Town – along medieval trade routes, past the city wall and city glasses. Slowing down, close to the water, and with exciting anecdotes, the river trip becomes an authentic event experience.

Atmosphere Like in the Middle Ages

The shallow wooden boats are modeled after historical transport barges. Gentle splashing, the view of alleys and bridges, and the calm event atmosphere make the trip the ideal break for families, couples, and culture fans. The audience's mood: relaxed, curious, photo-friendly.

The 4:00 PM trip ends at Drahthammerwiese (walking back to the Old Town takes about 30 minutes). One-way trip approximately 30 minutes, round trip approximately 60 minutes.

Voices of the Fans
