Coke Vending Machine on the Borgarfjörður Road
The Coke vending machine is a fun and unexpected roadside stop
located along Road 94, between
Egilsstaðir and
Borgarfjörður Eystri
in East Iceland.
The machine stands alone in a rugged landscape where little can be seen
but mountains, open space and the wide Icelandic sky.
For many travelers, discovering cold drinks and snacks
in such a remote area comes as a pleasant surprise.
The vending machine is owned by Kiddi from Vídeóflugan,
who installed it as a personal initiative to bring joy to travelers
and create a memorable stop along this scenic mountain route.
The road between Egilsstaðir and Borgarfjörður Eystri
is known for its dramatic scenery and sweeping views
across the fjords and mountains of East Iceland.
Over time, the Coke vending machine has become
a natural rest stop where visitors pause,
stretch their legs and capture photos of this unusual sight.
Offering soft drinks, candy and snacks,
the vending machine has grown into something of a
hidden gem along the route.
Images of it have circulated widely on social media,
and many travelers now make a point of stopping here
during their journey.
For those traveling from
Egilsstaðir toward
Borgarfjörður Eystri,
the detour is well worth it.
The destination itself offers attractions such as
Álfaborg,
scenic hiking trails and one of Iceland’s most charming fishing villages.
The Coke vending machine is a small yet creative project
that perfectly reflects the spirit of travel in
East Iceland,
where unexpected discoveries often become
the most memorable moments of the journey.
