A travel guide to the best places to visit

Giethoorn

Giethoorn is a beautiful green village with a 800 year old history in the east of the Netherlands. It’s located next to national park Weerribben-Wieden, which is the largest bog in Western Europe. The old part of the village is known for having no roads. The main form of transportation in this village is by boat, as many houses are build on small Islands which can only be reached by using the waterways or by going on foot or bike over one of the 180 bridges. Giethoorn is a great place for a relaxing boat trip, to sail through in your canoe or to visit for a bicycles tour through Giethoorn and it’s surrounding nature.
