托尔金笔下瑞文戴尔的原型 Tolkien's Rivendell inspiration

Lauterbrunnen Valley in the Swiss Alps

For Tolkien Reading Day, we're visiting the Lauterbrunnen Valley in the Swiss Alps, which is believed to have inspired the Elven sanctuary of Rivendell in J.R.R. Tolkien's novels 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit.' Like Tolkien's mythical Elf settlement, Lauterbrunnen Valley has a bit of storybook appeal, with an unusually narrow valley floor hemmed in by steep Alpine cliffs and dotted with numerous waterfalls. The valley remains a popular tourist destination.

The Tolkien Society organized the first Tolkien Reading Day in 2003 to celebrate and promote his works. They selected March 25 as it is the day that the Dark Lord Sauron was defeated, and the Black Tower destroyed in 'The Lord of the Rings.' Tolkien's writing continues to provide fodder various entertainment forms, with Amazon's 'Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' debuting in 2022.

瑞士阿尔卑斯山的洛特布鲁宁山谷

在托尔金阅读日，我们将参观瑞士阿尔卑斯山的洛特布伦南山谷，据信这是J.R.R.托尔金小说《指环王》和《霍比特人》中的精灵庇护所里文德尔的灵感来源和托尔金的神话中的精灵聚居地一样，洛特布伦嫩山谷也有点故事书的吸引力，其异常狭窄的谷底被陡峭的阿尔卑斯悬崖包围，并点缀着无数瀑布。这个山谷仍然是一个受欢迎的旅游目的地。

托尔金协会在2003年组织了第一个托尔金阅读日来庆祝和宣传他的作品。他们选择了3月25日，因为这一天黑暗魔王索伦被击败，黑塔在《指环王》中被摧毁托尔金的作品继续为各种娱乐形式提供素材，亚马逊的《指环王：权力之环》于2022年首播
