It’s here that Frodo leaves the Fellowship with Sam.

Just behind you, if you look around, you’ll find a tree with a pretty recognizable shape, it’s in front of that tree that Aragorn talks to Gimli when he arrives at the shore of the lake.

There’s a parking area about 100 meters away, park there and walk up to the line of large rocks. That’s the spot.

If you want a better view of this filming location, you can watch my video on YouTube about the filming locations of the first movie.
