In the past, incoming ships were loaded and unloaded with the two iron cranes. The port was the economic center of the city. In 1156, Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa granted Bamberg the staple right. From then on, every ship passing through Bamberg had to stop and offer its wares for sale in the city for three days.

Hiking

The river cruises start here. The journey takes about 80 minutes. You can then enjoy a great view of Little Venice with its houses right on the water. Then it goes through a lock, everyone should have taken part. Tickets are always available when the ship docks directly at the entrance. On Sunday there is a trip every hour on the hour.
