Giethoorn Village Tour 🇳🇱 | Exploring Dutch Countryside | The Venice of the North ! 4K 60FPS

Giethoorn 🇳🇱 is a small village in the province of Overijssel, in the northeast of the Netherlands. It’s famous because there are almost no roads in the old center—transport is mainly by boat or footpaths. The village is built around canals, and many houses are only accessible over tiny wooden bridges or by water.

✅ Why is it called “The Venice of the North”?
Because of its many canals and picturesque waterways. Unlike Venice, it doesn’t have big stone palazzos—here you’ll see thatched-roof farmhouses, lush gardens, and wooden bridges (over 170 of them).

✅ History
Giethoorn was founded around 1230 by peat diggers.The canals were originally dug to transport peat, forming the waterways we see today.
Over centuries, it grew into a peaceful farming village and later became a famous tourist destination.

✅ Population
About 2,600 residents live in Giethoorn.

✅ How to Get There
By Car: About 1.5 hours drive from Amsterdam.
By Train: Take a train to Steenwijk station, then a bus or taxi.

✅ What Can You Do?
🌸 Boat Tour: Rent an electric “whisper boat” or join a guided tour.
🚶‍♂️ Walking & Cycling: Explore footpaths and scenic bridges.
📷 Photography: One of the most photogenic places in the Netherlands.
🍰 Local Cafés: Enjoy lunch or coffee along the canals.

✅ Best Time to Visit
Spring and Summer (April–September): Lush green gardens and mild weather.
Winter: Sometimes the canals freeze, and you can ice skate—though less common due to warming winters.

✅ Fun Fact
Giethoorn became internationally famous after it was featured in a 2002 Dutch film called Fanfare and in many travel magazines.
