Enjoying the Peaceful Atmosphere in Giethoorn, Giethoorn, Netherlands

“Dutch Venice” is an ideal place if you are looking for somewhere to chill. It is quiet; you can listen to nature and enjoy the sound of silence. I visited Giethoorn on a summer morning. Many people are interested in architecture and canals. I was there to listen to myself and to get inspired by nature. I sat on a bench and started to meditate. The more I focused on myself, the more nature took me in. The noise of the wind was assisting my breathing. I enjoyed my time and the view of the canal.

The spirit of this cute village immediately draws you in. It is a privilege to be purely present in Giethoorn village. This made me wonder about the history of this place. Who were the residents centuries ago? The founders of Giethoorn came from the south and sought refuge to escape the Black Death in the 14th century. They also wanted to live their religion freely.

Located in De Wilden, it is one of the largest continuous NP areas in Northern Europe. Giethoorn is a perfect place to enjoy the tranquility, appreciate architecture, and visit museums and art galleries around the neighbourhood. The village offers different experiences in different seasons. In the summer, it is a perfect place to enjoy nature, and in the winter, “West Overijssel” is a perfect place to enjoy the ice and wander around on ice skates. ......
