On the Vils into the Heart of the Old Town: Public Flatboat Ride in Amberg
Leisurely gliding over the Vils, with the city wall to the left and the iconic city glasses in front: This public flatboat ride presents Amberg from a rare river perspective – relaxed, up close, full of stories.
Atmosphere of the Old Town from the Water
Even as we depart from the ship bridge, there's a buzz of excitement in the air – not as competition but as anticipation for an hour of live city history. The gentle splashing of the Vils, the calls of the gulls, and the murmurs from the cafés in the old town blend into a unique stadium atmosphere.
Route, Duration, Highlights
The tour starts at the ship bridge and goes through the old town towards Drahthammerwiese and back. Depending on the trip, there are simple routes of about 30 minutes or round trips of about 60 minutes on the schedule. Along the way, picture-perfect views of the city glasses, medieval walls, and the green riverside open up.
