Have you ever imagined to live in a city where there are no roads and, implicitly, no cars to create noise and pollution? Even if it sounds like a dream, you will be surprised to find that such a place actually exists in reality. The quiet and the clean air that the inhabitants of this town enjoy is envied by many.
Giethoorn is a small town in the Netherlands where river canals and bicycle tracks have taken the place of the roads. Here you will never be disturbed by the noise of nightmare traffic, nor will you have to breathe in car fumes.
To get to the town, locals and tourists use boats. The specially designed alleys give one the opportunity to explore the beauty of this dream place on bicycle or by walking. The 2400 people who live in the roadless town say that they are very pleased with the life they are leading here.
