Giethoorn

A small village with very, very few roads, Giethoorn has 170 bridges for people to walk and bike over canals. We rented an electric boat on the edge of town to explore the waterways. Enjoying the afternoon, moving along at a snail’s pace, made it to my top five favorite things about Netherlands.

Seven Bridges

At the Reguliersgracht and Herengracht intersection, a person can see seven bridges at one time.

Cruising

We ended up enjoying a peaceful boat ride through the city.
