The forest is home to a variety of wildlife, including foxes, hares, and even rare species of birds. The forest is also home to some of the oldest trees in Iceland, with some of them being over 1000 years old. The area is a great place for hiking and exploring, with plenty of trails and paths to explore. There are also several waterfalls and rivers in the area, making it a great spot for swimming and fishing.
