Hotel Flókalundur Vatnsfjörður Iceland postcard

This vintage color postcard features Hotel Flókalundur, a scenic lodge in Vatnsfjörður, West Iceland (Vestfirðir region). The front shows the wooden hotel buildings with red-orange facades and gray roofs, set against dramatic Icelandic landscape—green hills, rocky terrain, a flowing river in the foreground, and the Icelandic flag flying proudly. The composition captures the remote, natural beauty of the Westfjords, with clear skies and typical mid-20th-century photographic style.

The back is multilingual (Icelandic, English, German) with the hotel name in three languages: “Flókalundur í Vatnsfirði”, “Hotel Flókalundur in Vatnsfjörður, W. Iceland”, “Hotel Flókalundur, Vatnsfjörður, W. Island”. It credits the publisher Kórund hf. Reykjavík and photographer Ingibjörg Ólafsdóttir, with a blank address and message area plus a small box for the stamp. Numbered 16/240 in the series.

A charming piece of Icelandic tourism ephemera from the era when such remote hotels served travelers exploring the Westfjords’ rugged beauty—perfect for collectors of vintage Iceland postcards, Westfjords memorabilia, or mid-century travel souvenirs.
