Enchanted river1

Thorin and Company by the Enchanted River in the film The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

The Enchanted River was a black stream in Mirkwood that flowed north from its source in the Mountains of Mirkwood towards the Forest River, which it joined about ten miles before (west of) the Elvenking's Halls. It had fast and strong currents, but was narrow near the Elf-path where Thorin and Company crossed it.

Anyone who drank or bathed in the stream's water would fall into a deep sleep, and suffer amnesia when finally waking.[1]

History[]

Bilbo Baggins and the Dwarves of Thorin and Company had to cross the Enchanted River while traveling through Mirkwood on their quest to the Lonely Mountain. One of the Dwarves, Bombur, was knocked into into the stream by a charging deer while trying to get out of a boat they used in the crossing. He fell asleep for six days and dreamed of Elvish feasts. When he finally awoke, he could not remember anything since the initial party at Bilbo's house.[2]

There was originally a bridge over the Enchanted River, but by the time of the Quest of Erebor it was broken. The Elves maintained a boat on the eastern bank for passage.
