Well worth a look. Giethoorn is very popular with tourists, so it can sometimes be busy in this area.

View of Dwarsgracht and farmhouses

Highlight • Viewpoint

The name of the place is derived from the fact that the canal to which the town owes its name, was located at right angles to the Jan Hozengracht, Cornelisgracht, Bouwersgracht and Thijssengracht. Just like in Giethoorn, there is ribbon development along a canal, in this case the Dwarsgracht. The place was founded before 1800 at the time of peat extraction in the area from the town of Giethoorn. (source: Wikipedia)

Great resting point with a beautiful view of Dwarsgracht and the statue of a man with a dredging handle - 'De Baggeraar' (Janno Petter, sculptor and painter in Dwarsgracht).

April 12, 2025,🇳🇱 Venezianische Gefühle in den Niederlanden: Giethoorn

Giethoorn is called the Venice of the North or the Netherlands. We can't compare it to Italy, but why should we? Giethoorn's car-free town center is crisscrossed by waterways, old thatched-roof houses, and bridges, and at times looks like a large, beautiful painting. It's only natural that beautiful places attract many people, but our early alarm clock allowed us to …

Super nice round through the national park from Giethoorn. You could also call the tour 100 bridges tour. Simply unique and if I were to describe the round, it would be two DIN A4 pages long. So I'll let the pictures do the talking 😀 I can recommend the tour 💯 percent ✅

April 28, 2025,Zwischen Giethoorn und Dwarsgracht

The next stop on our (short) trip is Giethoorn. We arrived at a lovely campsite yesterday, and this morning it was time for me to explore the surrounding area. I headed to Dwarsgracht, located in the middle of the wetlands. I think it's a stunningly beautiful spot, and I liked it much better than the much-praised Giethoorn. But that's a …
