===Coat of arms=== The [[coat of arms]] was granted by royal decree on 14 July 1989. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], an arched bridge [[Or (heraldry)|Or]]"'' ({{langx|no|På blå grunn ei gull kvelvingsbru}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is an arched bridge. The bridge has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[Or (heraldry)|Or]] which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The arms were designed to symbolize the old Lunde [[bridge]] ({{lang|no|Lundebru}}) which is one of the best preserved stone bridges in Norway. The bridge is now a national monument. It is also [[Northern Europe]]'s largest [[dry stone]]-arch bridge. The bridge was built in 1829 on the [[Pilgrim's Route|Old King's Road]] connecting the cities of [[Oslo]] and [[Bergen]]. 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. The arms were designed by Ivar Aars. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Etnedal |access-date=2023-04-22 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Etnedal, Oppland (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-05-41.html |access-date=2023-04-22 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1989-09-09 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1989-07-14-635 |access-date=2023-04-22 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Kommunevåpenet-bru i blått |url=http://www.etnedal.kommune.no/artikkel.aspx?MId1=1&AId=440&back=1 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303165651/http://www.etnedal.kommune.no/artikkel.aspx?MId1=1&AId=440&back=1 |archive-date=2016-03-03 |access-date=2008-12-30 |publisher=Etnedal kommune |language=no}}</ref>
