On Quiet Paws Through Amberg: On the Trail of the Otter
Discover Amberg from its wild side: On a guided city-nature hike along the Vils, nature park ranger Christian Rudolf explains the lifestyle of the fascinating otter – vividly, knowledgeably, and closely related to the local history of the Vils and Lauterachtal valleys. An exploratory experience full of cultural enrichment and nature observation.
Vital Vils: Where Nature and City Merge
Between medieval settings and cool Jura streams, we explore an FFH protected area of European significance. You will experience architectural views of Amberg while also touching on history: old waterways, traditional flatboat culture, and diverse riverbank areas. With a bit of luck, we may spot traces – paw prints, slides, feeding sites – or even an otter.

Ranger Christian Rudolf, a trained forester and professional hunter, provides understandable insights into ecological contexts: territory behavior, diet, conflicts with the fishing industry, and solutions through monitoring. Practical, with a focus on the cultural heritage of the region and sustainable visitor management in the Hirschwald Nature Park.
