Tolkien took a trip to the Swiss Alps. The trip left such an impression on the young man that landscapes and events from the trip served as a basis for places and events in his future books, namely, &#8220;The Hobbit.&#8221; In October 2013, Swiss touring company, Alpenwild, will be offering &#8220;In the Footsteps of Tolkien,&#8221; a tour that follows the same path that Tolkien took in 1911. Along for the trip will be Alex Lewis, Chairman of the Tolkien Society of UK from 1988-92, and author of three books of Tolkien studies. The tour, which will also visit the soon-to-be opened <strong><\/strong>Bernd Greisinger Middle Earth Collection museum, is scheduled for October 12-20, 2013. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpenwild.com\/trip?trips_id=29\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1911, at the age of 19, J.R.R.
