Movie sets scavenger hunt

Pillars of the kings: The Kawarau River gives a really nice scenery in this rocky gorge. You can even bungy jump down from a bridge into the gorge, but that's nothing for me.

Ithilien: Next to Lake Wakatipu at the Twelve Mile Delta Recreation Reserve we followed a small track for a few minutes to get to the place where Frodo, Sam and Gollum saw the Mûmakils.

Isengard: We drove past Glenorchy up the valley until we got to the place which was used as the background scenery for Isengard. It was cloudy so we couldn't see it really clearly but it is an impressive landscape.

Lothlorien: We drove the Paradise road which was rebuilt after heavy rain, but at the first ford we had to stop, because our car wouldn't be able to cross a big hump. There was a movie setting though in the forest nearby and we saw a couple with cossplay equipment preparing themselfs. It is a nice forest walk, but there is no special tree or anything showing the scene.

Queenstown Gardens: A nice little peninsula with faszinating trees. We watched people playing a different kind of bowling which looks more like Pétanque (Boule) but with a longer flat playground and balls that roll quite far. On the way back we walked the promenade where some people were looking at a rooftop, where you could see a drone and a camera team.Read more
