Fairytale canals and picturesque village of Giethoorn
Giethoorn · the Netherlands
About this experience
In Giethoorn the village centre has water channels in place of main roads; houses are linked by small bridges, and thatched roofs and gardens face the water. Small boats glide silently along the canals and the village unfolds like a fairytale scene. This is not a rushed outing but a search for slow calm.
It is visited in spring, summer and autumn. Bring comfortable shoes and a light rain jacket; early mornings are quieter. People live here, so keep noise down and stay out of gardens.
