    There are two locations for this scene. The scene where the nazgul cross the river was filmed here. And the scene with the flood is over in skippers canyon.

    I don't know why this place is named "the real ford of bruinen", if you had the guide book you'd know that the scene was filmed in 2 locations, this one is the location for when the Nazgûl come towards Arwen, the scene where Arwen is on her horse in the river is in the other location on skippers canyon. The skippers canyon location is (just my opinion) spectacular and the better one of the 2.
