In the heart of New Zealand is one of the most historic cinema locations to exist in recent times – the filming location for the movie trilogy of the Lord of The Rings. Celebrating over 60 years of existence, the movie was a popular project with millions of fans all around the world as the deep-fantasy lore full of magical creatures, elves, dwarves, hobbits and orcs arrived on the silver screen, brought to life amongst the landscapes of New Zealand. In 11 days, you can take a tour through the highlands and green plains of New Zealand to visit these places for yourself.teplakova suprava panska

Auckland to Rotorua, The Beginning
Your fantastic journey through Middle-Earth begins in the capital city of Auckland, luxurious and full of life and modernity. With brands such as Avani Auckland Metropolis Residences to wait at your beck and call, you’ll not need another Auckland city hotel to take care of your needs. From here, it’s a straight shot to Rotorua where a magical behind-the-scenes tour of the Hobbit village of Hobbiton awaits, and you can find yourself in hobbit-holes of Frodo and Bilbo.
Wellington, where Rivendell Waits
The land of workshops and wineries, the exquisite locale of Wellington is full of culture. Here, you can find such things as the famed Weta Workshop, and take a lunch at a fine New Zealand winery to experience the higher strata of society. Returning to fantasy roots takes you to the in-movie locations of Rivendell and Minas Tirith, two important places for any true fan of the movie – finally ending in the production centre known as Miramar.
Queenstown, the site of Helm’s Deep
The story continues in the region of Queenstown, an alpine city in the foothills of the Alps. Here, you’ll be treated to an exciting helicopter ride around the mountainous region – even through Helm’s Deep, where a few remnants of battles past lie still. You’ll be able to pick up a leftover axe or sword, and have your very own re-enactment if you so wish! The rough, rocky terrain is a perfect backdrop for your own stand against evil orcs and the forces of darkness.
Wanaka, the End of a Journey
Although there isn’t much in the way of lore and reminiscence here (except for a Hobbit-hole-inspired accommodation if can find it), the sheer staggering beauty of Wanaka, overflowing with scenic lakes, powerful rivers, and all-around natural beauty is a great cherry on top for your trip full of excitement. Here, you can be grateful for both J.R.R Tolkien’s creative imagination and Peter Jackson’s faithful reimagination of the same, as the stunning sceneries of New Zealand is truly one of the best settings for Middle-Earth.
