Punting only in Tübingen?

Punting is not unique to Tübingen. Similar techniques exist wherever shallow water, flat boats and poles are practical, for example in the Spreewald or in other river landscapes.

What makes Tübingen special is the concentration of passenger trips, the Neckar Island route and the way the Stocherkahn is tied to city life, university culture and local celebrations.

So the technique is not exclusive, but the Tübingen form and atmosphere are unmistakable.
