Overview

Giethoorn is by far the most romantic town of the Netherlands. Located in Overijssel in the east of the country, it is surrounded by nature and water. So much water indeed, that the village of Giethoorn doesn’t have any cars riding around. Many houses are only reachable by boat and this is exactly how the inhabitants of Giethoorn travel. Event the mail gets delivered by canoe! Explore this extraordinary water-village, float on the small canals under the linden trees while you listen to the only sound around: birds. Marvel at the old farmhouses, which thatched-roofs are centuries old. Flow underneath the idyllic wooden bridges of this picturesque town, which will make you feel as if you were in another era, in another world.
