The fairytale town in the Windmill Kingdom, truly a "Garden of Eden" by God

🇳🇱 The fairytale town of Giethoorn in the Netherlands, known as the "Venice of the Netherlands", is said to have been named after the many goat horns dug up by early coal miners here, and the name has been used to this day. The best way to visit Giethoorn is to rent a boat and travel through the town with scenery as splendid as a painting, experiencing the comfortable lifestyle of the locals and admiring the beautiful pastoral scenery on the shores. Sometimes the scenery is picturesque, and sometimes the painting resembles the scenery. 🌈Travel Tips: -Giethoorn is not big, one day is enough. It is recommended to drive there, which is very convenient. There is a free parking lot at the entrance of the village, and you can also park on the roadside with signs. -During the tourist peak season, it is recommended to book a boat online in advance, so you don't have to waste time waiting. If it's not the peak season, you can also decide after you arrive. There are places to rent boats at the entrance of the village and along the road into the village. -If the weather is good, be sure to apply sunscreen. It is not so convenient to wear a large brimmed hat and use an umbrella on the boat. 🌈Boat Rental Information: -Boats can be rented on the official website, and some restaurants also offer boat rental services. I know of these three: Giethoorn Netherlands Bootverhuur De Deukten Grachthof Giethoorn Restaurant & Bootverhuur -Google Maps search will show the website, click in to find boat rental information. 🌈Food Information: -Bootverhuur De Deukten, the boat rental place, sells some snacks, the fried fish and fries are very tasty, but the ice cream is not so good, avoid it. -We had dinner at Grachthof Giethoorn Restaurant & Bootverhuur, the environment is nice and the service is good, with a quick serving speed.
