Giethoorn, Netherlands|Step into a fairy-tale water world, breathtakingly beautiful

In this small town, there are no cars on the roads, only bicycles and boats as means of transportation, which is why it is called the "Little Venice." Moreover, the reed-roofed houses in the town are surrounded by blooming flowers and green grass, making you feel like you are in a fairy tale, giving an unreal sensation. The best time to visit Giethoorn is from May to August. The town is divided into two parts, north and south. The south side mainly has various shops and is bustling with tourists; the north side is where the local residents live, very quiet and secluded. No matter how bad your mood is, staying here can be healing. Although cars are not allowed here, to truly discover the beauty of Giethoorn, walking is the best way. Giethoorn is located in the province of Overijssel in the northeast of the Netherlands, within the De Wieden Nature Reserve. It borders Germany to the east, Belgium to the south, and the North Sea to the west and north. It is about 120 kilometers from Amsterdam. There are no skyscrapers here, so you can find your own space and enjoy a leisurely vacation. It turns out that a real-life "Utopia" really exists. If you come here, be sure to visit the Molen Canal, a lake within the Giethoorn reserve that connects the intricate network of rivers inside and outside the town. Additionally, you can visit the Farm Museum, which showcases authentic local farm life, including traditional clothing, indoor furniture arrangements, and living scenes. The Shell Art Museum displays specimens of shells, pearls, corals, and many exquisite handicrafts made from shells and other materials. Lastly, don’t forget the Old Earth Museum, which houses a collection of various minerals and gemstones. In short, Giethoorn is a very beautiful place, with both natural scenery and cultural attractions well worth seeing. Spend a leisurely holiday here and enjoy the tranquility and wonderful moments!
