The river Etna flows through the muncipality, then into Nordre Land muncipality and then down into Randsfjorden.

What to see in Etnedal Municipality
The old King's road to Bergen passes through this area. The Etnedal coat of arms shows the old stone bridge Lundebru, which is Northern Europe's largest stone-arch bridge. It was built in 1829 on the King's road. A portion of the King's road was refurbished and turned into a footpath in 1992 and is now a natural and cultural walking path.
