Giethoorn is a mostly car-free village in the northeastern Dutch province of Overijssel. It’s known for its boat-filled waterways, footpaths, bicycle trails and centuries-old thatched-roof houses. It borders a section of the Weerribben- Wieden National Park, which we kayaked through. So beautiful.
In the nature preserve there were so many birds. And sheep! It took about 3 hrs to navigate around and back to the start. The village is one way. So go with the flow.
