12,000 kilometers of adventure in the East: The Eastern Journey at Studio 16
On Thursday, April 16, 2026, the legendary documentary about the long-distance driver Franz Fuchs will be shown at Studio 16 in Traunstein. An evening that evokes pioneering spirit and creates the event atmosphere of an accessible cinema and discussion night – free admission, donations welcome.
A truck, desert sand, and a true pioneering achievement
The documentary follows Franz Fuchs on his route from Bavaria to Saudi Arabia. Without a GPS, with paper documents and countless stamps, he mastered border crossings, heat, and formalities. The event experience brings this journey back into the hall: the smell of diesel in one’s mind, sandy paths before the inner eye, audience mood ranging from amazement to smiles.
Sensations of travel in the cinema: proximity to the screen, compelling stories
The seating in Studio 16 creates closeness and good visibility. Thus, the humor, conflicts, and courage of the tour become tangible. From an event journalistic perspective, the organization is convincing: a clear target group approach for documentary and local history fans, vintage car community, Chiemgau audience, and the curious.
Background: Broadcast on BR, remembered in Upper Bavaria
The film was shown in 1980 on Bavarian Radio and later honored again. Press opinions emphasize the natural humor of the protagonist and the cinematic signature with dynamic editing – a piece of road history.
Service: Admission, access, arrival
Admission is planned about an hour before the start. The location is centrally located near the train station; parking is available at the Parkhaus P1 Bahnhof-Parktunnel and in surrounding parking zones. For wheelchair users, it is advisable to contact ahead for seat arrangements.
Conclusion
An evening full of wanderlust, wrench romance without kitsch, and honest voices from another long-distance driver era. Experience the Eastern Journey together in the hall – accessible, gripping, locally anchored.
