Germany’s Helgoland Island

Islands Without Cars, the unique independent travel series hosted by Kira Cook, is back for a second season! In six whimsical half-hour installments, Kira shows us what life is like on islands in the Western Hemisphere’s developed world that have managed to keep a well-worn foot in the past by restricting or forbidding the use of motorized vehicles.

Located between 30 and 40 miles off the North German coast, Heligoland is a rocky island in the North Sea and Germany's only non-coastal island. It features vertical cliffs dropping nearly 200 feet into the waters below and is the only such formation in the North Sea. Except for two taxis and a police car, automobiles are verboten.
