I am ready to bet, you have never heard of this village before. Giethoorn is a place in Holland, where you will never find a single road, because all, I mean it all transportations are done by boats alone. Frankly speaking, just one look at the following pictures and you will understand – it looks damn beautiful!
This village has nothing in common with Venice or Saint-Petersburg, it is a country of its own, that offers stunning sceneries and adorable views. Giethoorn is a village in the Dutch province of Overijssel. Actually, the village consists of two parts and it is the old part of the village where there are no roads. Ouch, there are some cycling paths there.
All visitors are welcome to enjoy the beauty of sceneries while on a Whisper Boat (a special electric powered boat, which makes no noise). Most of these boats can transport up to 8 adults.
You can spend some time on the lakes and arrange a picnic while enjoy swimming, sailing or windsurfing.
Enjoy!
Oh myyy! I want to go live there! This is sooo awsome!
I have been writing a book on the Mennonites in the Netherlands and would like to have your permission to copy them or if that’s not possible if you could send them directly by email to me.

Sorry to admit,that I lived in Holland over 10 yrs.and
never visited Giethoorn. Enjoyed these gorgeous pics.
Who knows I’ll visit in the near future and make it priority one to visit this unequaled village.
How do people in this area get around in the winter time when the water freezes with no vehicles? Does everyone ice skate or does the water not freeze?
A friend and I visited Giethoorn in 1993. We wanted to watch the local custom of pole-vaulting the canals. While we were there, we saw a fantastic spider exhibit and a wonderful mineral museum. It’s a very beautiful and charming village. Hope to visit again.
I would love to visit, how did you book a vacation there?
We were house-sitting for my cousin in Coevorden and had the use of their car. We drove all over The Netherlands. There is a parking lot at the entrance to the village. Just park and walk in. It’s well worth the trip.
I wish I could do eye refraction check up of the residents of the breathtakingly beautiful Giethoorn village in Holland!

I don’t want remuneration; I only ask for to & fro air travel from Delhi and accommodation for me and my wife; and I will carry the basic testing equipment needed.

Is there a place for a visitor to stay overnight in Giethoon Village ?
I would like to visit Giethoon for a short holiday.
This is beautiful. Is there electricity? I hope not. this village seem untouched by todays rush for development. I hope this remains the way it is for a long time. These pictures transports you to different environment and breathtaking views. PEACE and Tranquility should be the theme here. BEAUTIFUL!!!
