Take a look at these ‘Lord of the Rings’ themed street signs in south Austin

AUSTIN (KXAN) — If you’re feeling nostalgic and want to take a trip from Middle-earth to Hobbiton, you can go to a small neighborhood in south Austin that has “Lord of the Rings”-themed street signs.

You may not get to take the one ring and go on a long journey to Mordor, but you can at least nerd out to some rad street signs.

The lot is located in Shady Hollow, located at 11607 Sundown Trail, according to the City of Austin Transportation and Public Works Department. According to the city, the street was named sometime in the 1970s.

A spokesperson with the City Communications and Technology Management department, which oversees addressing, told KXAN that Hobbiton Trail, specifically, was named when the subdivision was recorded in the mid-1980s. There are two sections of Hobbiton Trail — one was recorded in 1983 and the other in 1985.

Hobbiton Trail

In the movie, Hobbiton is a village that was home to many Hobbits, which you can see in “LOTR” or “The Hobbit” movies.

The name of the lot is dedicated to the hobbits, who are a fictional race in the “LOTR” stories. They are similar to humans but are small in size and have hairy feet.

Hobbits don’t come into the storyline until the Third Age of Middle-earth and play a key role in destroying the one ring. You know the one.

If you want to nerd out and find out the origin of Hobbits, you can watch this documentary from Nerd of the Rings.

Middle Earth Trail

Middle-earth is the central continent of the earth in J.R.R. Tolkien’s story.

The history of Middle-earth goes back to the beginning of the creation of the universe in the story told by Tolkien.

Silmarillion Trail

Furthermore, “The Silmarillion,” also written by Tolkien, is a tale focusing on the beginning of time and the earth’s formation. It is in this storyline that the creation of the universe came to be and eventually gives rise to the Second Age of Middle-earth.

Baggins Cove

The Baggins name is very familiar and near and dear to “LOTR” fans’ hearts. Whether you’re watching the story told in “The Hobbit” focusing around Bilbo Baggins or watching Frodo Baggins go on a quest to destroy the ring in the fires of Mount Doom in Mordor, each character captivates our hearts.

Both Bilbo and Frodo are ring bearers, which have the power to control the entire world.

Remember when Gandalf showed up for Bilbo’s birthday party and made fireworks? Here’s a nice clip from the first “LOTR” movie just for fun.

Frodo Cove

As you know by this point, Frodo has to leave his home to destroy the ring once and for all. However, a fellowship of hobbits, elves and men all come together to destroy the ring at the Crack of Doom where it was forged.

One of the more wholesome scenes in ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’ is when Frodo makes it to Rivendell. It’s a tearjerker every time!
