Gliding through Amberg's Medieval History on the Vils
The public raft trip in Amberg combines a relaxed river experience with an impressive journey back in time through local history. On board a flat raft, modeled after historical transport vessels, the tour goes through the old town of Amberg and along the Vils, which once served as an important lifeline and transport route of the region.
Guided Tour on the Water
Starting from the ship bridge, the route leads through the old town, passing under the distinctive city glasses and continuing towards Drahthammerwiese on the former state garden show site. Water, city walls, bridges, and historical buildings appear from an unusual perspective. The gentle splashing of the Vils creates a calm atmosphere while the trip makes medieval transport routes in Amberg vividly experienceable.
