The Hollin Ridge[1] (S. Pind Eregion) was a western outlier of the Misty Mountains roughly halfway between the Bruinen and the Sirannon, and about forty-five leagues south of Rivendell. The ridge was low, topped by ancient holly-trees, and marked the northern border of the long-lost Elven kingdom of Eregion (S. "Hollin"). In the old days of Eregion, the lands south of the long Hollin Ridge extending westward from the Misty Mountains were most densely populated.
Points of interest[]


There was an old watchtower on the next-to-last hill from the west (shown on area map at top right, far left center). By T.A. 1640 it had long fallen into ruin. An image and floor-plans are at right. The labels are in Polish - translations follow:
