Discover Amberg from the Water: A Journey Through Time on the Vils
Board a traditional paddle boat at the ship bridge in the historic town of Amberg and experience the city from an extraordinary perspective. As the flat wooden boat glides quietly over the Vils, medieval transport history, historical architecture, and the relaxed atmosphere of a river ride combine to create a unique discovery experience.
On Historical Paths Through the Old Town
The one-hour paddle boat ride begins and ends at the ship bridge. The route leads from the old town through the city glasses towards the former Landesgartenschau site and back. One-hour round trips provide ample time to perceive Amberg from the water and to experience the unique connection between the river, city wall, and historical urban landscape.
A Paddle Boat Like in the Middle Ages
The flat wooden boat is inspired by the transport barges of past centuries. Similar waterways were once used for transporting goods like iron and salt. Today, this local history is vividly and immediately experienced during a peaceful ride on the Vils. The gentle splashing of water, the perspective beneath the city glasses, and the view of the historic old town create an authentic atmosphere.
