Giethoorn village is an amazing ‘water village’ in The Netherlands. It’s a village with only canals. All transport is done with boats. There are no roads, only small pathways for pedestrians and bikes. Join us at Holland Windmills on a day tour to this remarkable area.

In Giethoorn village, life as it once was seems reflected in the Dorpsgracht, or Village Canal.
You step back to the 19th century, a time when everything was about water and all transport was done via canals on small boats.

The central canal with the thatched farmhouses on either side was the lifeline of Giethoorn village. You could see cattle, supplies and hay being transported over this main artery.

This so-called ‘water village’ has remained unchanged since the 19th century. The canals, small bicycle paths and 177 bridges give Giethoorn a unique character.

The only difference is that we now use electrical boats. These are very quiet.
best thing to do in Netherland is to visit this beautiful Giethoorn village.
