Eyvindarholt Plane Wreck

The DC-3 airplane, which can be found here in Eyvindarholt, has a story that dates back to the year 1944 when it embarked on its first flight. It served the United States Navy at the naval base in Keflavík for several years during the 1960s.

A few years ago, the airplane at Sauðanes became a tourist attraction, making it challenging for the animals to live peacefully and calmly in the field near the plane wreck. As a result, the farmers Ágúst and Steinunn in Sauðanes decided that it was time for the plane to take its final flight. Now the Sauðanes DC-3 plane wreck can be once again enjoyed by people here, in Eyvindarholt.
