Words can't describe the beauty of this place. Each house like it was specially curated to be in a museum. Not a lot of people this time of year, at times we cannot hear anything except for soft duck quacking and sound of water beating.

নেদারল্যান্ডসের Overijssel প্রদেশে অবস্থিত Giethoorn Village-কে প্রায়ই “Dutch Venice” বলা হয়, কারণ এখানে রাস্তার পরিবর্তে খাল (canal) প্রধান যোগাযোগ ব্যবস্থা এবং অসংখ্য ছোট সেতু গ্রামটিকে সংযুক্ত করেছে। শতাব্দী আগে পিট (peat) উত্তোলনের ফলে তৈরি হওয়া জলপথই আজকের মনোরম খালগুলোর রূপ নিয়েছে। শান্ত পরিবেশ, খড়ের ছাউনি দেওয়া ঐতিহ্যবাহী বাড়ি, বৈদ্যুতিক নৌকা ভ্রমণ এবং প্রাকৃতিক সৌন্দর্যের জন্য Giethoorn নেদারল্যান্ডসের অন্যতম জনপ্রিয় পর্যটন গন্তব্য। #Giethoorn #DutchVenice #NetherlandsTravel

★★★★★ Giethoorn – A Magical Fairytale Village in the Netherlands! Giethoorn is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and enchanting villages we have ever visited! This extraordinary place feels like stepping into a fairytale, with its picturesque canals, charming traditional houses, beautiful gardens, and romantic little wooden bridges. Walking through the village was an absolutely wonderful experience. Every corner offers breathtaking views, and the peaceful atmosphere makes it the perfect destination to escape the noise and stress of everyday life. The combination of crystal-clear waterways, lovely thatched-roof cottages, colourful flowers, and lush greenery creates a truly magical setting. It is almost impossible to stop taking photographs because everything looks like a postcard! One of the most fascinating aspects of Giethoorn is its unique network of canals, which gives the village its special character and the nickname “Venice of the Netherlands.” The entire area is beautifully maintained, and exploring its narrow pathways and picturesque bridges is an unforgettable experience. We were completely captivated by the beauty, tranquillity, and romantic atmosphere of this wonderful destination. Absolutely recommended! Five stars without hesitation! Giethoorn is a true hidden gem of the Netherlands and a place everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. We would love to return!

חוויה מעולה לקחנו סירה לארבע שעות והיינו בטוחים שהילדים יתחרפנו. כשהארבע שעות נגמרו הם התחננו לעוד הזמן טפעובר מהר מאוד הבאנו איתנו קצת לחם וחילקנו לברווזים, לשחפים ולברבורים (הברבורים חמדנים וקצת מפחידים, שימו לב)
