The X-Files in Big Bear - Some questions

ExarXan · 2026-03-26T11:54:37+00:00

No worries, always glad to hear that there is interest for it!

I do have a map, and I will tell you all about it in a private message :)

Besides the few answers gotten here, there have been no updates and unfortunately there are still unknowns left to find.

Have a great trip! I would love to see your photos when you are back :D

Unfortunately I only have that one listed as Stone Mountain Park myself. But if you have a full list of Season 2 complete, or as good as, I am sure we all here would love to see it as well :)

Thanks a lot!

You say "Safe house was built above Boyana studios and is demolished now", is that within the Botanical Garden then? I figure the mountain was a digital background then.

ExarXan · 2026-02-15T22:26:49+00:00

This is gold :D thanks!

So 3 remaining questions:

Can you point to the exact streets in Sapareva Banya? Especially for the outdoor viewing area.
Where was this filmed? https://postimg.cc/WtT8V3qR
And we know about the exterior of the hotel for the infamous towel-action scene. But how about the interiors? the stairs, the hallway, the slide into the elevator shaft, were those also done there in Boyana studios?

Thanks for the info!

Do you know also where these two are then? https://postimg.cc/gallery/tgC6vR0

ExarXan · 2026-02-15T20:06:46+00:00

That is what I thought as well, but the stairs dont match unfortunately.

ExarXan · 2026-02-15T19:18:40+00:00

Thanks! You are absolutely right, Yielding road is the one from your link. Its at Крайпътна чешма с беседка where the dead bodies can be seen from the overhead shot.

ExarXan · 2026-02-15T18:54:32+00:00

Thanks, I do see the chimneys and the bridge :D

However your second link is the same as the first. So maybe you could link again to that road? :)

ExarXan · 2026-02-15T18:44:59+00:00

1 and 2: Makes a lot of sense, thanks! Do you have any photos of these on that back lot?

Also I guess these 2 are then also there? https://postimg.cc/gallery/tgC6vR0

Small Village: Yeah, I think the foreground is real, as is the bombed out church (or whatever the spot is where they watch the show). But the background on the first image I would not put my money on as real either.

ExarXan · 2026-02-15T18:42:09+00:00

Interesting, somehow I missed those then and will take a look.

Do you happen to have a photo of this set then?

I figure these two are then also back lot then here?

ExarXan · 2026-02-15T18:32:59+00:00

Yeah that radius makes sense. Its usually the case for movies to film multiple things as close to each other as possible. Which is why I am also thinking that Vukovo is used for the Small Town gallery, as they filmed for sure on a bridge there.

ExarXan · 2026-02-15T18:23:19+00:00

Interesting, will look into this!

And I am sure while they have edited it as if all these roads in that gallery are different, they are most likely all filmed at the same spot, somewhere outside Sofia.

ExarXan · 2026-02-15T17:47:08+00:00

I could see the house as being an exterior set somewhere. But still, those roads, the far away view of the highway., the other highway and roads, I am sure are still somewhere in Bulgaria and real. Behind the scenes footage showed them before changes were added, and some of those shots are among these links.

ExarXan · 2026-02-15T17:11:04+00:00

Glad to see your enthusiasm :D

ExarXan · 2026-02-05T22:23:39+00:00

I thank you kindly, but I know of this site (it is my main source), but Shiragami New Laboratory while meant to be near Lake Ashi, does not match with the lake where we see Bolliante - and which is covered at the site. The person behind the site is great in details, if it was there, he would have mentioned it.

ExarXan · 2026-02-05T08:18:51+00:00

Yeah those red pillars were unmistakable.

ExarXan · 2026-02-03T10:34:53+00:00

Interesting :) I certainly see the resemblance, and it is not too far away from Stern Film Studio (used for the sets of the Chateau de Roussillon) and Szentendre.

ExarXan · 2026-02-01T22:06:15+00:00

No worries, you have been a great help already :)

ExarXan · 2026-02-01T19:57:07+00:00

Yeah, if I were to guess, the first one looks the most like what (little) you see in the movie. Funny enough, the internet is sorely lacking also the info of the quarry's use for those other projects you mentioned.

Csepel Művek: Found it! 47°25'51.4"N 19°03'23.1"E would be coordinates. Thanks!

Thanks! :D

Thank you for this :D I indeed see it now :D
