Now I know where I wanna go as one of my first world tour vacations. Growing up I would hear this and that from LOTR and the hobbit a while ago. It’s these types of places that opens my eyes more to how big a beautiful the sights of the world are. Can’t wait to reach the day where I absorb and look back to today when I thought “one day”
I lived there for just over one year as a child and will always call myself Kiwi at heart. New Zealand was full of nice, kind, non judging people who where just amazing to be with. (on top of the amazing and perfect landscapes) I've been back a few times and sometimes I wish i were Kiwi by blood ;) You're a lucky person TheRCove ;)
Damn, I actually though some of the backdrops was CGI as it looked so freaking gorgeous in the movie.... Nope, just one of the most gorgeous countries in the world... Man I have to go there on vacation one time. The first Hobbit movie was pretty much a perfect experience at the cinema for me, I can't wait for the next one, it is going to be epic.
I don't dispute that New Zealand has absolutely incredible beautiful landscapes for Middle Earth, but if you really want to visit Hobbiton, visit a small village in the Cotswold. There you'll find the Shire, where crafts known to the Hobbits are still practiced today. That's where Tolkien drew inspiration for Hobbits.
Agreed. West Midlands was a great inspiration for his books. Since writing those books there’s been more development. That’s why the movies were filmed in New Zealand
I went to NZ last summer for these films and it does very like a peaceful country! Something nice about Middle East being tucked away all the way in NZ rather than somewhere more commercial.
For some reason the above comment reminds me that what Middle Earth _really_ needed was a Middle Earth Peace Process (preferably with the Fellowship being one negotiating team, and Saruman, the Ringwraiths, and the Mouth of Sauron comprising the other).
The landscapes and sceneries are Very real from the naked eye and beyond With the mountain Tops and Lakes and rivers are phanomenol. Our country our showcase to the world so far away From New Zealand With Love.
2:10 My sister used to live in Pio Pio and I remember driving to her house with my mum and seeing the exact rock formation at 2:12... only if I had watched the hobbit before then
The only places i will ever travel is New Zealand and Canada (Canada only to see my brother who moved there) ... New Zealand seems to be the place i long to be now, it is too beautiful to not move there, i hope i can one day. I hope man does not ruin it.
Lazer Chicken bro our country isn’t even hidden to be honest and I don’t why your saying that people leave their rubbish every where when littering isn’t a big issue over here.
there is one ultimate goal of my life, is to spend my honeymoon with my loved one in New Zealand, I will definitely go to Hobbiton, and follow the foot steps of the Hobbit movie crew
@@henryvonmatt I see you're an atheist, as a Christian I don't blame that much I understood that we have different beliefs and opinions. I guess you are based on facts.
I'm so in love with this Country. It basically IS middle earth. You can imagine how the hobbits and elves really live there. It's just perfect
I've been there three times. Amazingly, it is as far away from my home in Sweden as I could possibly go, and yet, it always feels like coming home...
maybe mountains have something to do about it
far away the misty mountain cold..
I'm going to save up my money to go see the locations when I turn 35. I have 3 years to save up for it.
good luck!
Good luck!
I'm gonna live their also and plan to spend my life their with my husband and kids haha if that ever comes true. ^-^😊😊
Did you do it?
been 3 years are you there

Been there! Definitely worth the cost and the trip! Absolutely beautiful, every shot a scene to remember
How much did it cost you approximately?
Yea how much did it cost?
New Zealand 🇳🇿 always will be the MIDDLE EARTH 🌍
So happy to visit NZ, thank God i've made it..

I have to go there!! Does anyone else feel like The Lord of the rings world and the hobbit world feels fairly real in a way!

I live in New Zealand and always forget how stunning this place is.
Kinda getting emotional now haha.
Wonderful place, l hope to see that with my own eyes.
This country is UNREAL 😱😍 I wanna live here soon!
All New Zealanders live underground. Housing prices fuel .. all we can afford.
I simply love your video style, truly refreshing and creative.
The landscapes and sceneries are Very real from the naked eye and beyond With the mountain Tops and Lakes and rivers are phanomenol. Our country our showcase to the world so far away From New Zealand With Love.
"And then down, down, down into the most incredible bush"
Sounds like he had an epic weekend ;)
Currently touring NZ for this very reason 😂 so beautiful and extraordinarily like Middle-earth!
2:24 lol, took me a split second longer than I'd have liked to realize that John Howe and Alan Lee were pulling my leg ...
i live in matamata. great place.
i cant believe some of these places are real… Especially Twizel. No houses, buildings, pollution… They just let it be. absolutely beautiful
2:10 My sister used to live in Pio Pio and I remember driving to her house with my mum and seeing the exact rock formation at 2:12... only if I had watched the hobbit before then
Why oh why did I have to live in England, on the opposite side of the world. Unbelievable how much I want to visit all these amazing landscapes.
It's one of the most beautiful place on earth. People who has never been there wouldn't know - once you are there, then you will know.
I just hope that people will not destroy this paradise like others places! : (
@Vincent Thompson it is how it is, few generations from now on everyone will be asian, or at least part asian
@Vincent Thompson How is that a problem? I think the real problem would be if the majority of Kiwis thought the way you do
And i live here too! Love NZ.
Proud kiwi

Canada the New Zealand of the north.
If they made a nature documentary about Middle Earth I’d absolutely want to watch it
I live in New Zealand ♥ Aotearoa is the most beautiful place on Earth to me ♥ Godzone ♥
worked in New Zealand for airport work, so sad it got soured by the lockdowns and collapse of my business.. but would go back in a heartbeat..
God's beautiful creation... someday... I will live there.
I live in nz and I wish you good luck
god dont exist
@@spacekitt.n you shut your mouth you look around and look at hos creation and have audacity to say he doesn't exist you are a sick evil mutant.
An Geese god doesn’t exist ffs
Carolyn Rog3Rogers God must’ve fûcked up when he created that sick, evil mutant eh?
My biggest dream is to live in NZ :)
heaven on earth!
Lazer Chicken mate you can’t stop people from coming here
Lazer Chicken bro our country isn’t even hidden to be honest and I don’t why your saying that people leave their rubbish every where when littering isn’t a big issue over here.
@An Geese people like you are such hypocrites. Everyone has the samen right as you to live there.
@@ethansmith9858 Really ? shitting all over our country by freedom campers from foreign lands is o.k. with you ?
@@harrycurrie9664 what's wrong with camping?
when you live here, you dont really notice it
Yeah, Kiwis don't think it so special because they have been surrounded by it all their life.
@@harrycurrie9664 exactly!
They really picked one of the most beautiful New Zealand green screen studios for these movies.
Iv'e always wanted to go to New Zealand :)
Also,as a Tolkien fan,i always call it Middle Earth
New Zealand looks so Magical place I wish I can live there
Unspoiled land. Beautiful.

My no.1 favourite movie of all time lotr and hobbit
I would love to visit these amazing places 🥺
You friend is welcomed! We have all sorts of colours. I'm Pacific Islander and this is my home.
And this is why I want to go to New Zealand!
there is one ultimate goal of my life, is to spend my honeymoon with my loved one in New Zealand, I will definitely go to Hobbiton, and follow the foot steps of the Hobbit movie crew
OMG what a beautiful place! *.*
I always thought that the LOTR and Hobbit trilogies is a 20 hour NZ tourism commercial
So glad I live here, I wouldn't exchange it for anything
U are so lucky
New Zealand is Heaven on Earth
Me vino esto mismo en los extras de Man of Steel. Es hermoso peeeero le pifiaron feo
Great movie and great country
i LOVE THIS SAGA
Mordor is the capital city of New Zealand
London is Mordor
The City of Wanganui is the Mordor capital of New Zealand, apparently :)
I would never guess these places were real. Amazing!
I have no words - i'ts so insanely beautiful- but that's the artistry of God! :)
God doesn’t exist

@@joereimantz8185 As a Christian too, lets leave him. God will judge Him and soon he will understand brethren.
@@henryvonmatt i think he exists theres no creation without creator
World Cannot start from random explosion
I was there about 8 years ago but I want to go again!!!
And I've been and it IS like that! It's so awesome, and best of all it's summer when (UK) it should be winter. So gooooooood!

Strath Taipei- always thought of it as the way to Middlemarch
The whole LOTR-movies and the Hobbit movie are a commercial for New Zealand xD
