The tour was absolutely fantastic. The first part along the canals was fantastic. There was sooo much to see and admire 😃. We then got plenty of 🌬 in the "open space." Before the announced 🌧 arrived, we shortened the tour a bit 😉🙋🏻‍♂️

We set off for Giethoorn in sunny weather. Parking was no problem – the south parking lot. From there, we took a lovely circular tour through Giethoorn to Bokzijl. There were lots of tourists in Giethoorn, especially Asian ones. After that, we hardly saw any other cyclists. 😉 Very beautiful nature reserves with lots of storks. A great route, especially …

Too bad there are no breaks on the long roads. They are really too long. And too monotonous.

Unbelievable, there is something like a little Venice here, super narrow canals and on the "floes" in between there are neatly decorated thatched roof houses with well-kept front gardens, tidy terraces and noble-looking window decorations. Great atmosphere and well worth seeing.

But 10 degrees warmer would have been nice.

In the end we got really wet 🌧 ... we were lucky for that 🍀.

Today's bike tour started in picturesque Giethoorn. From there, we cycled towards Jonen and enjoyed the idyllic Dwarsgracht canal – a real highlight for nature lovers and photographers. A special experience was the crossing on the bicycle ferry, which took us to the other side and provided a little adventure. We continued on to Blokzijl, a charming harbor town with …

First of all, we went to Giethorn, the "Venice of Holland". It's beautiful how the great, often reed-roofed houses are built on the canals. But there is also a lot of tourism, no wonder, as the place is a very well-known tourist destination.
After visiting Giethorn, we went on a beautiful cycle path through the Weerribben-Wieden National Park. There was …
