The East Frisian island Juist is a car-free vacation paradise and offers its holidaymakers plenty of peace and relaxation from the hustle and bustle of city noise.
Far and wide only leisurely clatter of horses can be heard, because on the island almost all services and transports are made by horse-drawn carriages or bicycles. Thus, not only vacation guests and locals, but also food, beverage boxes, goods or building materials are transported by horses.
Even the daily garbage collection is done with a horse-drawn vehicle. Only the two doctors, the fire department and the German Red Cross have cars or ambulances, and the post office can use emission-free electric vehicles for transport.
But since when is the North Sea island of Juist car-free?
If you look at the island on a map or from the air from an airplane, you will quickly notice that the island is the narrowest and longest, only 500 meters wide and 17 kilometers long. East Frisian island is.
For this reason, it is simply too small to be driven on by motor vehicles.
Since its first documented mention in the 14th century, the Juist island car-free and offers in the Vacation at the North Sea a lot of rest and relaxation.
