Quarantine life has been a challenge for us because if
there is something we love the most to do & couldn't do for more
than a month that is to travel ! That is why I reached to my
archive and decided to share with you a wonderful place we visited
before quarantine starte!
That place is Giethoorn or also called Holland's Venice
!
Giethoorn is located in National Park
Weerribben-Wieden, an idyllic village in Overijssel built on
small peat islands connected by over 170 small wooden bridges!!!
Here you can perfectly see how the Dutch love to live
with and on the water. 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.
Fortunately, little has changed in Giethoorn. The tall
wooden bridges are still there, and you can still
travel the waters on a punter, as well as on an electric boat or a
tour boat. A 1 or 2-hour boat tour takes you past the gorgeous 18th
and 19th-century farmhouses and under the bridges. But
best is to see it for yourself in the picture!
We had a delicious dinner at the Fratelli Restaurant - right
there on the water channels !
It was perfect!
