Tolkien country

In Denmark there are several places that inspired the writer of Lord of the Rings (JRR Tolkien) to use these names in his books. They are situated in Denmark, and Helms Deep (Hjelm Dyb), Esgaroth (Eskerod), and Aros (Aarhus) can be traced back to Djursland,

 

The picture shown here was taken close to Isgård, and in Tolkiens Lord of the rings it was called Isengard, the tower where Saruman, the sorcerer had his living until the Ents destroyed this place.

 

Isgård is a Danish manor house and farm close to the sea on the hilly southern part of the peninsula Djursland in the Kattegat Sea between Denmark and Sweden at the entrance to the Baltic Sea in Northern Europe
