Giethoorn, Overijssel, the Netherlands
Just northeast of Amsterdam, bordering Overijssel’s Weerribben-Wieden National Park, is a remote Dutch village hailed for its heavenly waterways. Founded around 1230, Giethoorn’s canals are thought to have been created by monks to transport peat through the area. Today, the village is famed for having no roads – its thatched farmhouses are connected by a maze of canals flanked by over 150 wooden bridges.
