About this experience

Sightseeing on board the historic MS Bruckmadl
A breath of history blows around your nose with the wind! On board the MS Bruckmadl, passengers on the "Historic Strudel Tour" not only learn a lot about Regensburg's rich history. This boat trip is also a journey into the past of the Wurm & Noé shipping company, because the Bruckmadl has been there since the beginning under the name MS Agnes Bernauer. Today it shines in a modern, casual maritime style, but has lost none of its historical charm.

The main focus of the tour itself is on the history of Regensburg, with interesting facts and sights explained via on-board loudspeakers during the 45-minute trip under the Stone Bridge. A must for tourists and locals alike!
