Giethoorn - The peaceful village of Giethoorn, in the Overijssel province, is like a small countryside-version of Venice: numerous waterways connect several little islands where the farmers live in centuries-old farmhouses with thatched roofs. Just like Venice, there are no roads in Giethoorn, which gives the village the same peaceful, magical atmosphere. The village borders the wetlands of the Weerribben-Wieden National Park, a nature reserve with the largest fen of northwestern Europe.
The islands are connected by wooden bridges, owned by the residents. But the best way to explore the Dutch Venice is by taking a boat, which we encourage you to do. Cruise the canals and enjoy the beauty of the canals, the houses, and the surrounding wetlands. Also, you can have a stroll in the village and enjoy lunch in one of the several good restaurants.

Giethoorn, a serene hamlet in the province of Overijssel, mimics a petite, rural replica of Venice with its vast network of water channels linking tiny islands which are home to farmers residing in historic, thatched cottages. Much like Venice, Giethoorn lacks roads, bestowing upon it an equivalent tranquility and enchantment. The village shares its boundaries with the Weerribben-Wieden National Park’s marshlands, which harbors the largest fen in northwest Europe.
The islands form a network through resident-owned wooden bridges. However, the most recommended way to realize the allure of this Dutch Venice is by opting for a boat ride. Navigate through the canals to appreciate the charm of the waterways, the dwellings, and the adjacent marshlands. Moreover, you can take a leisurely walk around the village and savor a meal in any of the various superior eateries.
