Giethoorn, a typically Dutch village in Overijssel, shows the love of Dutch to live with and on the water. Giethoorn is also known as Giethorn, Venice of the Netherlands or Dutch Venice. The Dutch village where the inhabitants can only sail around, walk or cycle to transport themselves. In an environment full of lakes, reed beds and forests lies this picturesque village with its many handsome farms with thatched roofs and characteristic wooden bridges. Giethoorn was established as a settlement of peat harvesters. Peat cutting created ponds and lakes, and people built houses on the islands between them. As a result, access was only possible by bridge or using traditional Giethoorn boats, so-called punters. Giethoorn village is considered the most beautiful and fairytale village in the Netherlands.
