The Best Sight in Blönduós, North Iceland

Easily accessible just off the main road, Hrútey Island is located in the middle of the glacial Blanda River. Dense with trees and vegetation after an extensive reforestation program, the island is now home to a thriving population of birds. A small footbridge connects to the island, which is closed to the public from April 20 to June 20 to protect nesting birds from being disturbed.
