Sarah Heinzelmann and Lukas Ritzel trace the footsteps of this journey and show how landscapes and experiences from Switzerland flowed into the geography and atmosphere of Middle-earth. The talk illuminates the connection between real places and fantastic worlds. Attendance is free, but registration is required.
