Hollin ridge

The Hollin ridge was a low ridge on the western side of the Misty Mountains forty-five leagues (135 miles) south of Rivendell. The ridge was topped by ancient holly-trees, and marked the northern border of the long-lost Elven realm of Eregion (also known as Hollin).

On 8 January Third Age 3019, the Fellowship of the Ring reached the Hollin ridge after a long night-march. From its heights the travelers could see the Mountains of Moria in the distance. They camped in a deep hollow beneath the ridge, which Aragorn re-climbed when he sensed the silence and watchfulness of the land. After the Crebain flew over their camp the Fellowship remained in hiding near the ridge until they could leave under cover of night.
