Parth Galen

Lush green sward along the western bank of Anduin, sheltered by trees, with clear spring rill, suitable for camping with boats drawn up.

Parth Galen, a verdant campsite on the western bank of the Anduin River, serves as the poignant staging ground for the Fellowship's dissolution in The Two Towers. Sheltered by trees and nourished by a clear spring rill, it provides a brief respite where boats are drawn up, only to witness the tragic parting of paths amid the shadow of Amon Hen. Though appearing solely in the second book, its legacy endures as the symbolic fracture point of the quest against Sauron, with no further evolution in later volumes.
