| 1371489 | 2014-03-28 17:59:00 | Is the film location on Mt . Victoria, Wellington, where they filmed the Hobbits hiding from the Nazgul, sign posted? Is it easy to find? One would hope that there is at least a sign post and short write-up . www . youtube . com/watch?v=2L0A2D7zV7A Thanks |

The only one that is sign posted is the Hobbiton shire which is on a farm just out of Matamata . |

| 1371491 | 2014-03-28 20:10:00 | The stream location where Gollum jumped in the water and caught the trout is on the whakapapa river just above the chateau at mt Ruapehu, it's not sign posted. I just saw the documentary of them filming the scene so I know where it is :thumbs: | Webdevguy (17166) | ||
| 1371492 | 2014-03-29 08:16:00 | I have discovered the track on Mt Victoria we want is called "Hobbit Hide Away" and lies between "Old Mac Track" and "Hataitai to City" Track. Two questions: 1. What is the easiest way to Hobbit Hideaway Track from Miramaar? 2. Are the tracks signposted? Thanks |

I just saw the documentary of them filming the scene so I know where it is :thumbs: Yeah they had to melt ice off the stream for the guy to be able to jump in the freezing cold water to pretend to catch a fish! It was crazy! I haven't been yet but definitely want to see the Shire in Matamata :) |

| 1371494 | 2014-03-31 00:03:00 | Yup, I watched the doco, they showed Andy Serkis jumping in and out of the freezing river in the green suite with snow all around him. From memory it was filmed in late June or July just after a decent snow fall where they had snow all the way down past the Chateau. I haven't been to Hobbiton (www.hobbitontours.com) ( the farm set) although I have a friend that was there recently. It's about 15 minutes from Matamata. |
