MAVORA LAKES » NEW ZEALAND | Exploring NZ's backcountry
So far NZ is turning out to be a crazy trip, filled with unexpected turns and dreamy landscapes, I can't wait to start exploring more. Mavora is truly an awe inspiring place to wake up, and I would highly recommend the journey to anyone who feels up to it! We were incredibly lucky to avoid all the bad weather that had been forecast for the South Island, and we met some awesome trampers during the trip.

Lord of the Rings - Set-Locations in New Zealand
The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit: New Zealand is middle earth! The amazing and divers scenery of the joungest country on earth is the only place, where this great storys of hope by J.R.R. Tolkien could be filmed. A lot of the locations are the unknown New Zealand, far away from known tourist attractions but so beautiful in scenery and nature. Breathtaking views, scenic landscapes, awesome nature: mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, tussok grassland, green hills, woods, bush, wilderness: Discover 100% Pure New Zealand. It is 100% middle earth experience. A must do for Tolkien-Fans who like to travel.
World-famous film director Peter Jackson used New Zealands unspoilt scenery to make middle earth remarkably real. While he is proud New Zealander, he chose to film in his country because NZ geography can provide a huge variety of filming locations. From snowy mountains and desolate volcanic wasteland to serene beaches and enchanted forest, New Zealand is a cinematic paradise. The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy is one of the biggest cinema projects ever undertaken. It had a budget of $280 million and was filmed in some of New Zealands most beautiful places.
LotR-cast and crew about New Zealand: Elijah Wood: I have never seen a country in wich there are so many different gorgeous landscapes. Peter Jackson: Because we are making the movies I got to see incredibly magical remote places in New Zealand. Its the just most amazingly stunning place, beautiful. Richard Taylor: In New Zealand is still an innocence within the landscape a untouched blessed feel. This environment that feels as though mankind has not yet visited it. Sir Ian Mc Kellen: Middleearth is a real place and its New Zealand.
The most Set-Locations are easy accessible by road or walk. Some locations are only Helicopter-accessible and I did it with Nelson Helicopters (Nelson) and Southern Lakes Helicopters (Te Anau). The Helicopter-only locations are the favorites of director Peter Jackson. During 3 trips I vistited the most of the Set-Locations of the Lord of the Rings Movie Trilogy in New Zealand. I have seen breathtaking scenerys. Great experience! I can not say whats my favorite Location, because there are so much Highlights. Its the best way to try out yourself what you like the most. At some locations it is possible to make guided tours to explore Middle-earth in New Zealand. The LotR-Set-locations are located on both Islands, North Island and South Island.

The Road To Lake Hauroko - Fiordland, New Zealand.
PLEASE READ BEFORE VIEWING;
I spent some years away from New Zealand and the the places I used to frequently visit and had significant meaning to me. Often I would peruse youtube or the likes looking for photos / video of those places so I could wander down memory lane. One of those places was Lake Hauroko. Even driving the road from the National Park entrance at Thicket Burn to the Lake (6km) I used to miss. It's such a pleasant drive and an even nicer place to walk. So this video is put up here for those like-minded people. The video is shakey because the road had just been regraded -so my apologies for that. Put up just for interest and nostalgias sake. May be boring for some but of interest to others.
