Discover Amberg from the Water: A Journey Through Time on the Vils
On July 17, 2027, the public paddle boat ride will go through the historic old town of Amberg along the Vils. On the flat wooden boat, you will experience historical transport routes from an extraordinary perspective, combining city history, river landscapes, and a relaxed discovery experience.
With the Paddle Boat Through Amberg's History
The paddle boat recalls the transport barges that once transported iron and salt on the Vils. As the calm water flows past the boat, the view opens up to the medieval-shaped old town, bridges, and the distinctive city glasses. The ride makes local history immediately tangible and showcases Amberg as a city by the water.
Route Between Old Town and Drahthammerwiese
The paddle boat departs from the ship bridge in the old town and travels through the city glasses towards the former state horticultural show grounds. The destination area is the Drahthammerwiese, before the return trip to the old town begins. The round trip lasts about an hour; a one-way trip takes approximately 30 minutes.
Relaxed Atmosphere on the Vils
Gentle splashing, historic riverside views, and the proximity to Amberg's attractions shape this unique experience. The guided tour on the water is suitable for culture enthusiasts, families, seniors, and anyone wanting to combine a city tour with tranquility and local flair.
Practical Information for Your Trip
Boarding takes place at the ship bridge in Schiffgasse. The public paddle boat ride takes place outdoors. Access to the paddle boat is not barrier-free; strollers, walkers, and wheelchairs cannot be taken aboard due to space constraints. Weather-appropriate clothing is recommended for the ride, as there is no complete weather protection.
