Blönduós

The landscape around Blönduós is a low coastal plain where the Blanda River enters Húnaflói Bay, which has shaped both the town’s linear form and livelihoods linked to farming, fishing and the river. Set on Iceland’s Ring Road, Blönduós is an important service stop in the northwest, and the Blanda is especially associated with salmon angling. The circular concrete Blönduóskirkja, completed in 1993, is a prominent modern landmark. Textile traditions are represented by the Textile Museum and the Icelandic Textile Center, connecting the town with wool, weaving and contemporary craft.
