Weißwurst-Plätte 2026: 1-hour tasting ride conquers Amberg

Weißwurst-Plätte 2026 in Amberg: Frühschoppen on the Vils – authentic, hearty, unique

The Weißwurst-Plätte is Amberg's iconic multi-day experience in the platten program: A one-hour ride on the Vils, served with two Weißwürste, a pretzel, and a bottle of Amberger beer. Start and finish: the historic ship bridge. On Saturday, October 3rd, 2026 at 11:00 AM, it's time to board, enjoy open-air acoustic music, taste the regional beer culture, and experience the old town panoramas from the water.

Festival atmosphere on the water: Sound of the Vils, view of the city glasses

The platten glides gently over the Vils, water splashes against the hull, and the old town walls are reflected in the river. The famous city glasses come within reach as the community feeling grows on the main stage of the event – the deck: marveling, photographing, enjoying together.

Culinary experiences on board: Weißwurst, pretzel, beer – or vegetarian Obatzda

For the Frühschoppen, there are two Weißwürste, a fresh pretzel, and a bottle of Amberger beer. Those who wish to indulge without meat can choose Obatzda as a vegetarian alternative when booking. This adds a strong flavor component to the multi-day platten rides.

Organization & Facts: Route, Ticket, Entry

The platten departs from the ship bridge and returns there. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Amberg Tourist Information or online – at least two days before the event. No tickets will be sold on-site for this experience. The ride lasts about 60 minutes, takes place outdoors, and offers no weather protection – plan for weatherproof clothing.
