Discover Amberg from the Water: A Journey Through Time on the Vils
Board a traditional boat at the ship bridge in Amberg and experience the historic old town from an extraordinary perspective. During the one-hour trip, the flat wooden boat glides over the Vils, connecting local heritage, medieval history, and a relaxed atmosphere on the water.
With the Boat Through Amberg's History
The boat recalls historic transport barges that once transported goods like iron and salt on the region's rivers. Today, the journey takes you through the old town towards the former state horticultural show grounds and back to the ship bridge. Thus, local history is not only told but also made immediately tangible.
Historic Old Town, Water Splashing, and City Glasses
From the water, new views of Amberg, its bridges, and the characteristic city glasses open up. The gentle splashing of the Vils, the historic buildings along the shore, and the original river landscape create a slow-paced discovery experience for culture enthusiasts, families, and visitors who wish to get to know Amberg in a special way.
