❗️No Roads, No Cars, Just Boats ❗️ Most of us town-and-city dwellers spend our days pounding hard, paved ground. But in Giethoorn, Holland, residents float through canals. Built without roads, a series of waterways and bridges connect the town’s 2,400 residents. This incredible aquatic infrastructure has even earned the town the nickname “Little Venice.” We have to admit, a life without asphalt, gridlock and the DMV sounds pretty enchanting. 📍 Giethoorn Netherlands 🎥 NorthValleyArtStudio on Yo

Thatched roof houses and peat cutter's cottages from the 18th and 19th centuries line the small islands. The islands are connected by wooden bridges or you can cross over by boat.⁠⠀  instagram.com/butnomatter.theroadislife | DW Travel | Facebook
