Paddle steamer „Diesbar“
The PD “Diesbar”, built in 1884, is the only paddle steamer in the fleet to be coal-fired. The steam engine, formerly from the “PD Bohemia” in 1841, is today considered the oldest steam engine in the world still in use. Cozy salons, reconstructed with great attention to detail, are available for your event.
