With the Amberg Boat into History: On the Way Along Medieval Transport Routes
The public boat ride on the Vils makes history tangible: In robust wooden boats, you glide along the old town and experience an authentic event atmosphere amidst the splashing water, city walls, and told anecdotes. A slowed-down event experience for the curious, families, and photography enthusiasts.
Sensory Impressions on the Vils
The boat gently sways, the water sparkles, seagulls circle, and the audience's mood is relaxed. Passing bridges, the Drahthammerwiese, and the ship bridge form the backdrop – perfect moments for memory photos.
Well Organized: By the Tourist Information Amberg
The ride is carefully thought out: clear departure points, defined capacity per boat (up to 28 people), and structured event planning. The team at the Tourist Information Amberg focuses on professional organization, targeted visitor communication, and transparent event management.
What You Should Know
Public rides take place as scheduled during the season. Tickets are available for advance sale; on-site only leftover tickets are available for simple rides. Access to the boat is not barrier-free; strollers, walkers, or wheelchairs cannot be brought on board.
Route Charm and History
