This location is famous for being the filming site of a memorable scene from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. It’s here that Gollum is seen catching a fish in a small river, a moment that perfectly captures his wild, pitiful nature as he’s secretly followed by Frodo and Sam.

The tranquil setting, with its gentle stream and lush surroundings, contrasts beautifully with the tension of the scene, highlighting both the natural beauty of New Zealand and the emotional depth of the story. This spot remains a must visit for fans wanting to step into the world of Middle-earth and relive one of the trilogy’s most iconic moments.
