Step into the poetic waterland of the Netherlands: Giethoorn(1)
There is no roar of cars, no rush of traffic lights here. Just the clear waterways, ancient wooden bridges, and the gentle shadows of passing boats. On both sides of the waterways are typical rietgedekte boerderijen (thatched - roof farmhouses), often with colorful flowers planted in front. This is Giethoorn, known as the "Venice of the Netherlands," one of the most unique and tranquil waterlands in the country, also called the Venice of the North! 🌸 Travel options: ✅ Take public transport to Steenwijk train station and then transfer to bus number 70 to Giethoorn. Get off at the Dominee Hylkemaweg bus stop in Giethoorn and walk about 250 meters along Hylkemaweg. 🚌 ✅ At Amsterdam Central Station, find a travel agency. There are daily buses to Giethoorn, departing at 9:30 a.m. and returning at 6 p.m. Look for the bright red sign that says "tickets and tours." 🚌 #Netherlands #Europe
