Surroundings

In the middle of Giethoorn

Giethoorn came into being in the thirteenth century, when the first inhabitants dug canals to transport peat. This created the small islands with houses, connected by little bridges. According to tradition, the name comes from the goat horns that the first inhabitants found.

From your chalet you go out on the water in the rental boat, or you walk and cycle along the paths past the farmhouses with thatched roofs. In the village you can visit Museum Giethoorn 't Olde Maat Uus, among other places.
