Do you know the joke about Icelandic forests? If you haven't heard it yet, and you are planning to visit Iceland, I guarantee you will hear it a few times.

It goes like this: "What do you do when you get lost in an Icelandic forest?" .... "You stand up"

Icelandic forests are not that old and the trees are still pretty small. But over the years they have grown a lot, so this joke almost does not work anymore for many forests in Iceland.

But still, don't expect to find a forest with massive trees. But you will find a fun area for kids to play in, you might see some bunnies and you just get to enjoy a great scenery along the way.
