Are you ready for premier of the first “Hobbit” trilogy movie? Air New Zealand crew is prepared with new safety video already:<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\nOnly seven weeks left until premier and I think it is time to visit one of best preserved site where “<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0026L7H20\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0026L7H20&linkCode=as2&tag=tratip022-20&linkId=ddcfab9529f7ffca6ded553f146c9d94\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Lord of the Rings<\/a>” and “<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00BWJ6JO4\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00BWJ6JO4&linkCode=as2&tag=tratip022-20&linkId=78047db6d86d11affb781f472aed969a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hobbit<\/a>” trilogies were shot.<\/p>\nI am talking about Hobbiton. It is located in the middle of North Island in New Zealand and was “discovered” by Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema during aerial search for suitable “The Lord of the Rings” sites in 1998.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps\/ms?msa=0&msid=215611714354198794522.0004cdd5fcf13a38e5d99&ie=UTF8&t=p&ll=-37.874853,175.693359&spn=3.035094,6.591797&z=7&output=embed\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe> \nView <a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-align: left;\" href=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps\/ms?msa=0&msid=215611714354198794522.0004cdd5fcf13a38e5d99&ie=UTF8&t=p&ll=-37.874853,175.693359&spn=3.035094,6.591797&z=7&source=embed\">Hobbiton<\/a> in a larger map<\/small><\/p>\nThe site closely resembled Middle-earth described by Tolkien. The large established pine tree later to become known as the ‘party tree’, was already perfectly placed in front of the lake. The surrounding rolling farmland was untouched by 20th century. There was no roads, power lines or any buildings on the site.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3850\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3850\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3850\" title=\"Party tree\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shorttraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hobbiton-Hobbit-Lord-of-the-Rings-Party-Tree.jpg\" alt=\"Party tree \" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3850\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Party tree in Hobitton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThought the landscape was almost perfect it still required a lot of work to do. It took almost nine months to finish all preparation. Firstly New Zealand Army was contracted to build 1.5km (1 mile) road into the site. Then\u00a0 thirty-seven underground hobbit holes (smials) were created, mill and double arch bridge were built out of scaffolding, ply and polystyrene, glued and painted. Barberry hedges and trees were brought in and gardens were nurtured throughout winter. Oak tree overlooking Bag End was cut down and brought in from near <a href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/3mtqb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Matamata<\/a>. Each branch was numbered and chopped, then transported and bolted together on top of Bag End (26 tonne). \nDue to the intense heat of studio lights real trees on a set had a maximum “leaf life” of five days, millions of artificial (made from silk) leaves were imported from Taiwan and individually wired onto the dead trees to help foliate the woods of Middle-earth.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3847\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3847\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3847 \" style=\"text-align: justify;\" title=\"Dead tree\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shorttraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hobbiton-Hobbit-Lord-of-the-Rings-dead-tree.jpg\" alt=\"Dead tree\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3847\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dead Tree in Hobitton from The Lord of The Rings and Hobbit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSite construction started in March 1999 and filming commenced in December of the same year and continued for three months.

It was even declared as no flight zone.<\/p>\nAfter the filming of “The Lords of the rings” all decorations supposed to be cleared, but because of heavy rain no machinery could go on wet ground for the couple of weeks. Later owners of the land made agreement with movie studio to leave everything as is. Of course a lot of decorations didn’t survive as it was made from polystyrene, but natural party tree is still there.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3849\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3849\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3849\" title=\"Photos of Pub, Stable, Market, Bridge and Mill in Hobbiton\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shorttraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hobbiton-Hobbit-Lord-of-the-Rings-Pub-Stable-Market-Bridge-Mill.jpg\" alt=\"Photos of Pub, Stable, Market, Bridge and Mill in Hobbiton\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3849\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photos of Pub, Stable, Market, Bridge and Mill in Hobbiton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMost of smials are also in the place.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3848\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3848\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3848\" title=\"Smials (hobbit holes) in Hobbiton\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shorttraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hobbiton-Hobbit-Lord-of-the-Rings-Bag-End-Bilbo-Frodo-Baggins-Home.jpg\" alt=\"Smials (hobbit holes) in Hobbiton\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3848\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Smials (hobbit holes) in Hobbiton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nJust don’t expect to enter inside, as only Bag End was made as real home.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3851\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3851\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3851\" title=\"View from inside of Bag End\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shorttraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hobbiton-Hobbit-Lord-of-the-Rings-Bag-End-Bilbo-Frodo-Baggins-Home-Inside.jpg\" alt=\"View from inside of Bag End\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3851\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View from inside of Bag End, Bilbo and Frodo Baggins home in Hobitton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOther smials (hobbit-holes) were only imitations.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3846\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3846\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3846 \" title=\"Smial (Hobbit-hole) imitation\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shorttraveltips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Hobbiton-Hobbit-Lord-of-the-Rings-Smials.jpg\" alt=\"Smial (Hobbit-hole) imitation\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3846\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Smial (Hobbit-hole) imitation in Hobitton from The Lord of The Rings and Hobbit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nLast year the site was closed for public because\u00a0 it was used for the filming of\u00a0 “<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00BWJ6JO4\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00BWJ6JO4&linkCode=as2&tag=tratip022-20&linkId=78047db6d86d11affb781f472aed969a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Hobbit<\/a>” trilogy.
