Like Nurvs says, definitely Thangorodrim over Barad-Dur. I love the way that thing was destroyed...

I don't think it's a fortress. But I'm not sure. Is the second one supposed to be Barad-dur, or do I need to go back and reread LotR?

Rivendell was an Elven-refuge in a steep and hidden valley in the Angle

two places come to my mind on this subject. I always liked Turins hideout on amon rudh. It is strategically located out in the open....yet hidden at the same time. Guarding the contested area between Doriath and Nargothrond before they fell. A very dangerous area of Beleriand. Also, my imagination is fired by Caranthir's abode near Mt Rerir in Thargelion...barely mentioned in the narrative it is the area where the Noldor first encountered the Dwarves of Belegost and Nogrod. I would have liked to have visited there during the years of the Watchful Peace....

My favourite fortress is probably orthanc because of its strange shape.
