There is a small town called Giethoorn, in Zwolle, located not far from Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Giethoorn is famous for its uniqueness, where no roads are found like any other city in general.
More than 170 bridges connect homes in a city that resembles an island.
As a means of transportation, people use boats that are not noisy engines, to the point called "whisper boats".
Here, only the chirping of birds is heard.

Once that means Giethoorn, this little town looks like a giant flower garden. The residents take care of their flower gardens with care.

The houses are reminiscent of medieval architecture, with pointed roofs and large windows.
This is what makes this city look like a fairy tale.

In the past, in a city that began inhabited in 1230, its citizens dug a hole in the road to get humus.
Due to bad weather, began to form puddles in the streets. Eventually, all the roads in this city became the canals as they are today.
