The Journey

1

Giethoorn

Discover Giethoorn, often called the 'Venice of the Netherlands,' a serene village distinguished by its lack of roads and abundance of canals. Explore the village by boat, gliding past thatched-roof houses, quaint gardens, and charming wooden bridges. Originally a peat-mining settlement, Giethoorn's waterways were created by the excavation of peat, transforming it into the idyllic water village it is today. Experience the tranquility of a place where the primary modes of transport are punters (small boats propelled by poles) and bicycles, offering a unique and peaceful escape from the bustle of modern life. Enjoy a leisurely 4-hour exploration of this enchanting destination.
