Râd Annon

One trail in northern Mirkwood was relatively well-marked. Known as the Râd Annon (S. "Gate Path"), this long path linked Thranduil's capital at the Aradhrynd with the Carrock Vale and the Northman hill-town of Methelburg in the Anduin Valley. En route westward from the bridge at the Elven-king's Halls, the track crossed the Gûlduin, passed the Avar ruin at Caras Amarth, and left Mirkwood via the Forest Gate.
