Sensory Impressions on the Water

From the landing stage at the Ship Bridge, the flatboat starts into the twilight. Gentle rocking, reflections on the Vils, the scent of wood and water – your discovery experience leads past city walls, towers, and the iconic city glasses, whose arches unite in the water to form the glasses shape.
