Geocache Description:


[sv] I oktober 1938 krashade ett ambulansplan in i bergssidan på denna plats (Trappberget). Alla fem ombord omkom; piloten, mekanikern, doktorn, sköterskan och patienten. Idag står ett minnesmonument på platsen, och det finns fortfarande vrakdelar kvar, bl.a. motorn. Orsaken till olyckan var dåligt väder med låga moln, och att piloten missbedömde positionen. Planet var en Junkers W 34.

Stigen upp till platsen är tydlig och orangamarkerad och tar ungefär 20 minuter att gå.

[en] In October 1938 an ambulance plane crashed on this spot into the hillside (of Trappberget) killing all five people on board; the pilot, mechanic, doctor, nurse and the patient. Today there is a monument on the site, and still wreckage parts left, including the engine. The cause of the accident was bad weather with low clouds and the pilot misjudging the position. The plane was a Junkers W 34.

The path up to the site is well marked with orange. A 20 minute hike.
