Giethoorn, Canal village in Overijssel, Netherlands
The village center contains 176 wooden bridges connecting small islands with traditional thatched-roof houses spread along four kilometers of waterways.
The settlement originated from peat harvesting activities, which created the lakes and waterways that now characterize the village structure.
Residents of Giethoorn maintain the tradition of water-based transportation, using boats as primary means of movement through the village canals.
Visitors can explore the village by renting electric boats, canoes, or joining guided tours that navigate through the extensive network of canals.
The central section of Giethoorn functions without conventional roads, requiring all transportation to occur via waterways or footpaths.
