| Giethoorn Village |
Giethoorn is a beautiful and quiet little village unique in
that you will not find a single road in the entire town. Rather, it is
connected by waterways and paths and some biking trails.

Giethoorn is a village in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is located in the municipality of Steenwijkerland, about 5 km southwest of Steenwijk. Giethoorn used to be a carfree town known in the Netherlands as "Venice of the North" or "Venice of the Netherlands". .It became locally famous, especially after 1958, when the Dutch film
maker Bert Haanstra made his famous comedy “Fanfare” there. In the old
part of the village, there were no roads (nowadays there is a cycling
path), and all transport was done by water over one of the many canals.
The lakes in Giethoorn were formed by peat unearthing. Giethoorn was founded by fugitives from the Mediterranean region in
around AD 1230. Giethoorn was a separate municipality until 1973, when
it became part of Brederwiede.

Visitors are always welcomed and encouraged to rent an electric and
noiseless "Whisper Boat" to explore this little piece of heaven on
earth. Plus, without car pollution and soooo many trees, what ever
pollution does come their way, the trees purify the air.
