Gondolier

Fishing has a long history in Bamberg. And fishing families live in an area along the Regnitz River that has long been known as Little Venice (Kleinvenedig). So why not have a gondolier or two as well? Jürgen Riegel got inspired with this idea, had a gondola built in Venice, and became Bamberg's first gondolier in 1994. The idea took hold, and tourists have been taking gondola rides here ever since.
