Where the Fellowship was split during battle at the end of The Fellowship of the Ring.

Nen Hithoel - Mavora Lake
The Fellowship made camp at Parth Galen, beside Nen Hithoel, a large lake on the River Anduin. When Boromir was killed his body was floated into Nen Hithoel and which led him home down the Anduin River.

Dead Marshes - Kelper Mire, Te Anau
The ancient battlefield outside of Mordor, where the bodies of men, elves, and dwarves were laid to rest, their spirits form ghostly images in the waters.

To Rivendell - Lake Manapouri
The landscape south of Rivendell is strikingly beautiful, yet steep and rugged. Lake Manapouri is a glorious Fiordland landscape. The area South of Rivendell is hard to navigate, and portrays the mystique and beauty of the Elves.
