Hiddensee Island (Germany)

Hiddensee Island is a car-free island in the Baltic Sea north of Germany. The sender writes about its shape and size, and all I could think about was Mackinac Island in Michigan where I grew up. It’s also car-free!

The thing that’s surprising is that almost all tourists find it charming to be car-free and that’s a major part of the draw for people to visit Mackinac Island; but why are they so against the idea of reducing their dependence on cars outside of vacation?
