Route description
The walking tour passes right through the picturesque center of Giethoorn. The thatched-roof farm houses with their beautifully arranged gardens lie along the village canal. If you love hydrangeas, you won’t know where to look! Most farms can only be accessed by boat or via one of the countless characteristic wooden bridges. There are pleasant terraces and restaurants by the waterside. The farmers used to transport their cows, milk churns and hay over the water in flat-bottomed wooden boats called ‘punters’.
