The village Giethoorn known as the “Venice of the Netherlands” was founded in 1230 and resembles some of the most beautiful fairytale passages. The stunning oddity contains no roads or modern transportation. With the help of canals and 176 bridges, people are able to navigate through its wonders.
Remember the Netherlands’ solar bike path? Well, it’s been a huge success
SolaRoad’s 70-meter test track near the town of Krommenie outside Amsterdam has generated over 3,000 kilowatt-hours over its first six months of operation, or “enough to provide a single-person household with electricity for a year.” This is the first step towards a very bright future.
