It seems inconceivable that a place could exist without cars in the present world since cars are such an essential aspect of existence.
Having said that, it has been asserted that a Dutch town is completely car-free because of the numerous canals that pass through the charming community.
Does this have any merit? It’s true that Giethoorn, a village in the Netherlands with no roads at all, is a car-free village.
The 88 km long rivers are the reason this 2,800-person community doesn’t have any automobiles, according to National Geographic.
As a result, everyone who lives there uses the waterways, and visitors may hire boats.
Giethoorn, a community supposedly named after the horns of goats who perished in a flood in 1170, has over 170 bridges and trails for visitors to stroll and cycle on, so those who want to keep their feet dry may do so there.
