Punt Trip on the Vils: See Amberg with New Eyes

Discover Amberg from the Water: The One-Hour Punt Trip on the Vils

Experience Amberg's historic old town from a perspective once known to merchants and raftsmen. On the traditional punt, glide silently over the Vils, listen to lively stories about medieval transport routes, and enjoy city views that impressively combine culture and nature.

Historical Discovery Experience on the Vils

The trip follows the historic water route between Schiffbrücke and Drahthammerwiese, the former heart of Amberg's trade routes. The flat wooden boat conveys history you can touch: the brick city wall, bridge arches, and the expanses of the Vils meadows pass by in a calm rhythm.

Route, Duration, and Atmosphere

Start and end are at the dock Schiffbrücke in Schiffgasse. The public additional trip on this date lasts 60 minutes and ends again at Schiffbrücke without a stop at Drahthammerwiese – ideal for a compact city tour from the water.

Safety, Comfort, and Information

The trip takes place in the rain; only in case of severe weather or organizational reasons can it be canceled. Due to space limitations, access is not barrier-free; strollers, walkers, or wheelchairs cannot be taken on board. A maximum of 28 people per punt ensures a personal experience.

Tickets and Booking

Tickets can be obtained through the Tourist Information Amberg or the official ticket shop; advance booking is recommended. No remaining tickets will be issued on-site.
