Gentle Gliding between City Walls and City Spectacles
From the meeting point at the Schiffbrücke in Schiffgasse, the paddle boat starts a round along the old town. The trip provides authentic impressions of the fortifications, gates, and the iconic city spectacles. According to the organizer, the tour starts and ends at the Schiffbrücke; there will be no stop at Drahthammerwiese.
