Mosfellsbær

Mosfellsbær combines a settled coastal rhythm with open valley farmland in a way that reflects its position between Leiruvogur bay and the inland country northeast of Reykjavík. The municipality reaches into Mosfellsdalur, where the Leirvogsá flows towards the bay, while Mount Esja rises above nearby Kollafjörður. Gljúfrasteinn, the former home of Nobel Prize-winning Icelandic author Halldór Laxness, stands in the valley and is preserved as a museum. Although part of the Reykjavík capital area, Mosfellsbær retains a distinct identity through its farms, riverside land and spread-out neighbourhoods.
