Minjasafn Egils Ólafssonar Museum

In Hnjótur, about 10km west of Sauðlauksdalur, it’s worth stopping at the Minjasafn Egils Ólafssonar Museum. The eclectic collection includes salvaged fishing boats and displays on regional history, from whaling and farming to 1947 footage of a trawler wreck. There’s a basic cafe (cake 500kr).
