This is a fun little spot for Lord of the Rings fans, even though it only appears for a split second in the prologue of the first movie. It’s the place where Gil-galad is seen striking down an orc with his spear, making it a tiny but memorable part of Middle-earth on screen.

If you want to explore it in more detail, I have a video guide on my YouTube channel that covers filming locations from the first Lord of the Rings movie. It’s a great way to see the scenery in person and imagine the epic battles that took place here, even if they only lasted a few seconds on film.
