Points of Interest
Brockenborings has several points of interest to adventurers and travellers, the most notable of which are the large wooden carving statue and the Bullroarer's Challenge stages.
- The large wooden carving statue in Brockenborings depicts the great hobbit hero Bandobras "Bullroarer" Took, as he defeated the goblin chief Golfimbul during the Battle of the Greenfields in the year 2747 of the Third Age.
- During the Spring Festival in the Shire, hobbits compete in a game called the Bullroarer's Challenge in which they drink a large amount of Bullroarer's Brew, toast to Bullroarer's health, then try to run across fences set up between two stages without falling off the fence. Some hobbits practice all year long for the Bullroarer's Challenge in the Spring. This game derives from Bandrobas running along the tops of fences of the Great Smials to keep in shape and hone his skills.
Lore
In The Return of the King, Brockenbores (listed as Brockenborings on the map) was described as a series of caves and tunnels in the hills of Scary in which Fredegar Bolger and his band of rebels hid during the War of the Ring.
