Playing 'Lord of the Rings' in Glenorchy

Playing 'Lord of the Rings' in Glenorchy was like stepping into the movie itself. This place, reached by car from Queenstown on the South Island, is truly Middle-earth. Expansive grasslands, rugged mountain ranges, and crystal-clear lakes—everywhere you look, you're overwhelmed by the grandeur of nature. With friends, we took on the roles of movie characters, wielding swords and staffs as we began our adventure! Emerging from the forest into the grasslands, we struck poses like Frodo or Aragorn, gazing at imaginary enemies, and joked around while crossing stone bridges, all in high spirits. At scenic spots with mountains in the background, we shouted, 'This is the land of Rohan!' and played as if we were reenacting scenes from the movie. After thoroughly enjoying our 'Lord of the Rings' play, we took a break at a small café in Glenorchy. The experience of intersecting rich nature with the world of the movie was truly unique to New Zealand. It was a day that felt like stepping into the film.
