The Fairytale Village Of Giethoorn Without Roads

It has always been a fantasy of people to be a part of fairytales. You would not believe that there is a village named Giethoorn, or the “Venice of Netherlands”, which was founded in 1230 and is one of a kind. It has no transportation in any way and all that it comprises is of canals and 176 bridges. Whenever tourists want to enter this village, they leave their cars outside it and there are boats to roam in there that do not have any engines. It is one of the most peaceful and serene places seen on this planet and is rarely frequented with tourists. All the noises you hear will seem like a dream.

There are no roads in this village
