Discover Amberg from the Water: A Journey Through Time on the Vils
The one-hour flatboat ride takes you through the historic old town of Amberg and connects local heritage with a special discovery experience on the water. On board the traditional flatboat, you glide over the Vils and experience Amberg from a calm, unusual perspective.
On the Flatboat Along Historical Trails
The flatboat is a flat wooden boat inspired by medieval designs. Similar boats once shaped the transport routes of the region, moving goods such as salt and iron. Today, this history can be felt directly during a relaxed city tour on the water.
Old Town Panorama and Vils Meadows
The route begins and ends at the ship bridge in the Amberg old town. While the water quietly flows past the boat, charming views of historic buildings, bridges, and the banks of the Vils unfold. The ride offers an authentic atmosphere between medieval city history, the sound of water, and green riverbanks.
One Hour of Deceleration
The flatboat ride is suitable for culture enthusiasts, families, city travelers, and photography fans. The calm journey creates space for special memories and brings local history to life in an impressive way. Boarding takes place at the ship bridge; there is no stop at the Drahthammerwiese for this event.
Tickets and Practical Information
Tickets can be obtained at the Tourist Information Amberg or online through the booking platform of the city of Amberg. For the one-hour round trip, the regular price is 10.00 Euros according to the published fare information.
