I still cannot get over the fact that Tolkien based Middle Earth and several characters in Lord of the Rings on friggin Djursland in Denmark. I live an hour away from the real life Helms Deep, Isengard and so on. There’s even a local myth in the area that directly inspired the characters of Aragorn and Eowyn who were split onto two characters. The original myth was about a chief’s daughter who had to reclaim her dead father’s legendary sword and thereby set him free from the curse that kept him and his men trapped as ghosts. I forget if their Graves were on Helm Island or if it was somewhere else. It’s just really cool and super random. Apparently there are official Tolkien tours. I don’t have to go to New Zealand to experience middle earth xD I have the original lame version at home.
