Berching Boat Trip!

Where is Berching? It is about 1:15 minutes from here and is located southwest of Hohenfels (go to www.googlemaps.com and type in Berching, 92334).
Why go to Berching? Primarily for the boat trip along the canal which we have been told is very peaceful and beautiful! However, we have also been told that the town is quite fun to explore. Here is what one person online wrote: “Consider Berching to be an undiscovered Rothenburg, it's peaceful and walkable, with little traffic and few tourists. The town is ringed by 30-foot walls and protected by towers and turreted gates. Visitors can walk along the top of the wall or explore the maze of alleys and passageways.” We will also spend a little time in the town of Beilngreis which is where we will board the boat to go to Berching.

Our Plan:
8:30—Depart Graf Chapel Parking Lot and drive to Beilngreis (just south of Berching)
9:45-11:15—Explore Beilngreis
11:30-12:30—Boat ride to Berching (WE WILL BE RESERVING TICKETS FOR THE BOAT. PLEASE RSVP BY THURSDAY AT 6:00 PM—See below)
12:30-3:15—Explore Berching
3:15-4:15—Boat ride back to Beilngreis
4:30-5:45—Drive back to Graf

Cost for the boat trip:
Adult—9.50 Euros
Youth Fare (ages 6-16)—4.75 Euros
Children Under 5—Free
Family Pass—22.00 Euros (2 Adults and 3 Youth Fares)

Other Costs:
You can bring a picnic lunch or bring money to buy lunch in Berching (I’m not sure if you will be able to eat your picnic on the boat. They do sell coffee and cake on the boat.)
Money to shop?!
Money to help pay for gas if you ride with someone else.

Finally, please remember that we do need to make reservations for the boat trip. Let us know by Thursday at 6:00 pm if you plan to attend, how many will be with you, and the ages of your kids. If you don’t RSVP we cannot guarantee that you can get a seat on the boat (and thus you would have to stay in Beilngreis all day or drive up to Berching).
