km od začátku : 0055

Henneth Annûn

Treated with mistrust, as any suspected spies would be, Frodo and Sam are brought by the Rangers to their hideout to be questioned.

Here, Faramir learns that the Hobbits knew the late Boromir and that they are carrying the Ring. Wishing to prove his worth, Faramir decides to bring them before his father Denethor, in Minas Tirith.

Osgiliath

Before being captured by Sauron, this city was a place of light, beauty and music. It was the jewel of Gondor. Although uninhabitable now, the city preserves one of the last standing bridges over Anduin and remains an important strategic point.

Faramir brings reinforcements to the city and, upon witnessing the corrupting power of the Ring, decides to let the Hobbits continue their journey, even if going against his father’s wishes might forfeit his life.

North Ithilien Forest

Like many places close to Mordor, this forest used to be lush and inhabited by Men but it now fades under the cover of the Shadow.

Seemingly cheerful, Gollum leads the Hobbits forward, but in secret he begins to brew a plan.

Minas Morgul

Built by the Men of Gondor, this citadel shrouded in cadaverous light is now the stronghold of the Ringwraiths.

Frodo feels the call of the Witch-King and approaches the gate, but is fortunately pulled back just in time, as a dark army marches out.

Stairs of Cirith Ungol

Running up almost vertically on the Eastern side of Ephel Dúath, these steps might be Orc-free, but are still dangerous.

Persuaded by Gollum, the Hobbits muster their strength and plunge even deeper into the darkness.

Ledge Camp

Although not known for his wits, Gollum can concoct sneaky plans when the Ring inspires him to.

He tricks Frodo into believing that his loyal friend Sam wants the Ring for himself. Vulnerable, exhausted and alone, Frodo continues the journey up the dark mountain.

Shelob's Lair

Many foul creatures lurk in the shadow of Mordor and this tunnel is home to one of them: Shelob. Through ages, she spun her vile silk through tunnels and passages, turning them into perfect traps for unwitting prey.

Frodo realises that Gollum has led him into this trap, but it is too late as he is stuck and struggling to escape.

Tower of Cirith Ungol

Perched upon a dark sterile rock, this outpost, once used to survey the Ungol pass, is now teeming with Orcs and Uruks.

Sam must now infiltrate the tower and save Frodo before any harm comes to him.

Mordor

Side by side, just like they started, Frodo and Sam finally reach Mordor. After losing friends and hope more than once, their journey does not conclude here. A stretch of land swarming with Orcs lies between them and Mount Doom, the cradle and tomb of the Ring.

Dressed as Orcs, they descend the hill and venture into the volcanic plain with no plan, only determination.

Orc Encounter

The Orc army is now on the move towards the Black Gate. Danger is drawing near as a battalion of the wicked beasts passes by Frodo and Sam.

Fortunately, their disguise works and they are not discovered, however, believed to be Orcs, they are pulled into their lines and marched towards the gates.

Escape from Orcs

In order to avoid an inspection, Sam and Frodo stage a fight and, in the midst of the confusion, manage to separate themselves from the Orcs

Disheartened and exhausted, they start the arduous climb up the slopes of Mount Doom.

Sammath Naur Door

Standing agape on the mountain, this black door leads into the bowels of the volcano where the Ring was forged and where the Ring must be destroyed.

Sammath Naur

Like Isildur before him, Frodo now holds the fate of Middle-Earth in his hand. He needs but to unclench his fist and end all suffering, or to slide the Ring on his finger and succumb to Darkness.
