Basics
Punt boats in brief
The essentials about the boat shape and punting.
A Stocherkahn is a long, flat wooden boat moved with a pole. In Tübingen it is part of the city’s identity: practical river craft, university tradition and relaxed leisure experience at the same time.
Passengers sit on benches across the boat while the driver stands at the rear and pushes the boat along the riverbed. The route, speed and handling depend on water level, current and the driver’s experience.
