A Fairytale Village You MUST Visit in the Netherlands(1)
Giethoorn ✨ "After visiting Giethoorn, I finally believe fairy tales are real..." As a child, I saw pictures of this magical village and dreamed of visiting one day. Now, after finally making the trip, I can confirm: it’s 100% worth the effort! 🌿 Why Giethoorn Feels Like a Storybook No cars, just canals: The only "traffic" is gentle wooden boats and bicycles gliding by. Thatched-roof cottages: Each one prettier than the last, with flower-filled gardens and duck-filled ponds. The origin of its name: ⛏️ Coal miners once dug up ancient goat horns (dating back to 1170 AD!) here, giving the village its name ("Goat Horn Village"). 🍦 Must-Try: Farmhouse Ice Cream! Two iconic spots compete for the creamiest scoop: 1️⃣ Right-side shop (Photo 4) – good, but... 2️⃣ Left-side shop (Photo 5) – WINNER! Their vanilla tastes like clouds. Pro Tip: Eat on the wooden benches—local "beggar ducks" will join you (free entertainment!). #Netherlands #Europe
