Giethoorn, often referred to as the "Venice of the North," is a picturesque village in the Netherlands known for its canals, charming thatched-roof cottages, and tranquil atmosphere.
Giethoorn itself is a car-free village, and many of its paths are narrow and primarily for pedestrians and cyclists. Cycling through the village offers a unique perspective, allowing you to enjoy the serene canals, quaint bridges and beautifully maintained gardens up close. Also marvel at the traditional Dutch architecture, with its thatched-roof cottages.
Cycling in and around Giethoorn offers a delightful way to explore one of the Netherlands' most beautiful and tranquil regions.
