This is not just a garden on the roof!
Residents of Scandinavia refer to the greening of the roofs of their houses with genuine seriousness and not because the Scandinavian Association of Green Roofs (yes, there is such!) Every year holds a competition for the best green project.
The fact is that this specific feature opens significant environmental, social and even financial benefits for residents of the harsh land. It turns out that the roof with sprouted green vegetation absorbs rainwater, reduces heating costs in winter and air conditioning in the summer. And still such picturesque natural roof provides isolation, it is durable and the most important thing - it returns us in a fairy tale!
Let's rather consider all the most beautiful houses with green roofs, until they hide from us ...
Hofskirkja, Iceland
It seems a little bit more and this house will show us a spout!
Tjørsardalur, Iceland
And maybe it was in this house in the valley of Tjersardalur that the famous trolling sisters from the Bluffel and Burfel Mountains resorted?

But in the Norwegian village of Randollsetra, the houses with the green roof grew like mushrooms after the rain!
