Discover Amberg from the water: A journey through time on the historic Vils

With the flatboat through Ambergs local history
The flatboat is a shallow wooden vessel modeled after medieval designs. Comparable boats once shaped the transport routes of the region and transported goods on the Vils. Today, the historical watercraft glides quietly through the city, making Amberg's cultural heritage immediately tangible.
Route between ship bridge and Drahthammerwiese
The start and end of the trip are at the ship bridge in the Amberg old town. The route follows the Vils through the city glasses towards Drahthammerwiese and back. During the trip, charming views of the old town, historical buildings, and the lush river landscape unfold.
A city tour with a special atmosphere
Gentle water splashing, the characteristic wood appearance of the flatboat, and the proximity to Amberg's historical facades create a relaxed atmosphere. The ride offers photo opportunities, local history, and a cultural enrichment for city travelers, families, and anyone who wants to discover Amberg from a new perspective.
