This is where the scene from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug was filmed, in which Bilbo spots a stone staircase carved into the mountain leading up to the hidden door. You can find this exact moment at 1 hour, 52 minutes, and 51 seconds into the second film. The dramatic landscape and rocky slopes perfectly capture the epic, mysterious atmosphere of Bilbo and the dwarves’ approach to the Lonely Mountain.
