What is meant to be the green wilderness of Oregon on screen is in fact the &#8220;Bayerischer Wald&#8221; (Bavarian Forest), a wooded low mountain range along the Czech border in eastern Bavaria that many Germans know well from hiking holidays. And the forest scenes are just the start: plenty more of The Weight was filmed in Bavaria.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what is the movie about? The historical survival thriller, released in Germany with the added subtitle &#8220;Im Goldrausch&#8221; (in the gold rush), is set in <strong>Oregon<\/strong> in the early 1930s. Samuel, a mechanic played by Ethan Hawke who has already been hit hard by the Great Depression, ends up in a labor camp at a quarry in Oregon after what appears to be a miscarriage of justice. On top of that, he is separated from his young daughter, who is now to be put up for adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"The Weight | Official Trailer (HD) | Vertical\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7YpuMymmiJ8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"The Weight | Official Trailer (HD) | Vertical\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7YpuMymmiJ8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the camp, Samuel meets the overseer Clancy, played by Russell Crowe. Clancy offers him a risky deal: if Samuel and a few other prisoners secretly carry a not entirely legal load of gold through the <strong>wilderness<\/strong>, Clancy will release him early so he can bring his daughter home. Needless to say, things don&#8217;t go entirely to plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-viechtach-instead-of-oregon-the-real-filming-locations-of-the-weight\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Viechtach Instead of Oregon: The Real Filming Locations of The Weight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The secret star of the movie is its setting, the <strong>Bavarian filming locations<\/strong>. A large part of The Weight was shot in and around Viechtach, a small town in the &#8220;Landkreis Regen&#8221; (Regen district) in the Bavarian Forest. When the band of prisoners has to fight its way through a wild river on screen, that river is actually the &#8220;Schwarzer Regen&#8221; (Black Regen), which flows right through Viechtach, among other places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The &#8220;Hochfall&#8221; (a waterfall well known to hikers) also appears in the movie, as does the &#8220;Gro\u00dfer Arber&#8221; (Great Arber), at 1,456 meters the highest peak in the Bavarian Forest. Pullman City, a Wild West theme park in Eging am See near Passau, stands in for the labor camp and a gold mine. Tutzing on the &#8220;Starnberger See&#8221; (Lake Starnberg, south-west of Munich) makes a brief appearance as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Behind-the-scenes shot from the movie \u201cThe Weight\u201d; a group of actors is standing in a river, some of them holding onto a raft.\" class=\"wp-image-21346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn-883x497.jpg 883w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn-1400x788.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn-1320x743.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn.jpg 1750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Behind-the-scenes shot from the movie \u201cThe Weight\u201d; a group of actors is standing in a river, some of them holding onto a raft.\" class=\"wp-image-21346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn-883x497.jpg 883w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn-1400x788.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn-1320x743.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/the-weight-bavaria-behind-the-scenes-c-luis-zeno-kuhn.jpg 1750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image: Luis Zeno Kuhn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-why-the-weight-was-filmed-in-bavaria\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why The Weight Was Filmed in Bavaria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why the production chose Bavaria is no secret. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, director Padraic McKinley revealed that the test footage from Bavaria looked almost exactly like what he had pictured for the Pacific Northwest. Generous funding from the &#8220;FilmFernsehFonds Bayern&#8221; (Bavaria&#8217;s state fund for movie and television) also played a part. Like several German states, Bavaria runs its own fund that supports productions spending part of their budget in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you simply want to be swept along by the gripping story and the acting or are looking for ideas for your next outdoor trip to the Bavarian Forest: The Weight is well worth a trip to the movie theater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49 The Weight (German title: The Weight \u2013 Im Goldrausch), in German theaters from 19 November, 113 minutes, rated FSK 16 (Germany&#8217;s age rating, admission from age 16).<br>\ud83d\udc49 More on well-known filming locations in Bavaria on <a href=\"https:\/\/bavaria.travel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bavaria&#8217;s official tourism website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe in the Bavarian Forest: where The Weight was really filmed.
