Description
Giethoorn, also known as �the Venice of Holland� or the �Venice of the North�, is a beautiful village in the Netherlands. There are no cars or roads here; tourists leave them out of the village and have to travel by water or on foot over the lovely wooden bridges.
Located in the Dutch province of Overijssel. Giethoorn village is surrounded by a vast natural reservation entitled De Wieden, often included in tourist brochures. The travelers who adventure here are usually mesmerized by the familiar atmosphere, bohemian canals, small wooden bridges, vivid flowers and colorful 200 year old homes.

Yes,I see what you mean! We have a slightly similar place here in the UK called Bourton on the Water which also gets packed out with visitors. I just hope there is a nice private garden at the back of this house! It's such a lovely photo though!

Jenny,this makes me wonder what it must be like to live in such a place! I love to go to places where there is no sound of traffic and it is increasingly difficult to do that here in the U.K. This is such an idyllic little house with its pillar- box red shutters and thatched roof and surrounded by water and glowing greens. Looks like ivy? Very lovely! v/f

Jane, thank you so much for your kind visit, this is really almost idyllic place, but dont forget that instead the cars here is a huge amount of tourist, its difficult to imagine how the inhabitants bear with so much people in front of their idyllic houses!! Best wishes to you!:-)
