Paddle Tour on the Vils: Medieval Flair, City Glasses and Nature Front Row
Experience Amberg from an unusual perspective: On the traditional paddle boat, you glide leisurely over the Vils, pass the distinctive city glasses, and follow the historical water route towards the former state garden exhibition area. A city tour on the water – authentic, photogenic, and full of local history.
Route and Duration – Compact, Picturesque, Unforgettable
From the pier at the ship bridge, it goes through the Amberg old town, under the city glasses, and along green waterfront areas to the area of the former state garden exhibition. The round trip from/to the ship bridge lasts about 60 minutes; a one-way trip takes about 30 minutes. A maximum of 28 guests per paddle boat ensures a personal discovery experience.
History to Touch – City Glasses, Salt, and Iron
The paddle boats connect to Amberg's transportation tradition: Once, similar boats brought iron and salt to the city. Today, the water city tour takes you directly under the late medieval city glasses – the iconic water gate structure – and makes cultural heritage and architecture tangible while passing by.
