   actually, (as my question showed), I was not reading careful enough   
   (ogverlooking that the place was listed under "places");  what I thought   
   would be the answer was "the banks of Anduin" resp "banks of Nen   
   Hithoel" which were not a body of water and also ever present during   
   those chapter, so I expected "no" as for it being named. However they   
   (a) give rise to no ambiguity as for "body of water" and (b) are   
   directly visited (in contrast to the hint you gave), so my certainty was   
   ill-founded.
