In the Footsteps of the Sams: Film Culture, Fantasy, and Bamberg to Touch
This city tour takes families, film fans, and Bamberg explorers right into the world of the Sams. On July 4, 2026, at 11:00 AM, a discovery experience starts at the Old Courtyard to visit the original filming locations of the first Sams film in Bamberg.
Film History at Real Locations
The tour focuses on the first Sams film The Sams and combines local history with child-friendly storytelling. Along the way, background information on the filming locations and film tricks is explained. This creates a lively city tour that sharpens the view of Bamberg while making the fantasy world of Paul Maar's cult figure tangible.
A Walk off the Beaten Path
Especially appealing is the mixture of World Heritage atmosphere and cinematic lightness. The tour takes place exclusively outdoors and is aimed at both adults and children. Those who want to recognize the filming locations will benefit from knowing the film beforehand. This way, the tour unfolds as a cultural enrichment with many moments of recognition.
Important Information for Families and Groups
The event takes place outdoors, so weather-appropriate clothing is recommended. There is no toilet on the route; the Old Courtyard is available beforehand. Group bookings are possible year-round, making the tour interesting for school classes, family celebrations, or small travel groups. Participation is at one's own risk; parents and guardians are responsible for children.
