‘We have reached the borders of the country that Men call Hollin; many Elves lived here in happier days, when Eregion was its name. Five-and-forty leagues as the crow flies we have come, though many long miles further our feet have walked. The land and the weather will be milder now, but perhaps all the more dangerous.’
- The Fellowship of the Ring (Book 2), Chapter 3
A low ridge on the eastern side of the Misty Mountains, Hollin ridge once marked the border of the elven realm of Eregion.
