Giethoorn in the Netherlands is truly a real-life version of 'God's Back Garden' - it's so beautiful

Off-the-beaten-path travel~ Let me introduce you to this fairy-tale town: Giethoorn. Interestingly, the village got its name because workers in the 18th century found a large number of 'goat horns' here 🐑 There are no roads for cars in the village, only paths for bicycles and boats 🚣 It's like a 'Venice of the North' in Italy. Giethoorn is divided into a northern and a southern part. The center of South Giethoorn is filled with various shops for tourists to visit and enjoy 🚶 While North Giethoorn is where the locals live, very secluded~ The narrow waterways here are surrounded by historic thatched cottages 🛖 Visitors can take a boat or ride a bicycle to tour the village! The best season to visit is from May to August, with green trees on both sides and flowers blooming in front of and behind the houses 🌹 The reed-thatched houses have a medieval retro charm, it's really like a fairy-tale world~ ✨【Must-Visit Attractions】 📍Molen Canal The scenery and atmosphere here can be said to be the essence of Giethoorn. Stroll along the forest paths 🚶 or boat on the sparkling lakes, it's incredibly pleasant! 📍Farm Museum It's converted from an old farmhouse 🛖 Traditional costumes, furniture arrangements, and authentically restored living scenes... each spot shows the genuine Dutch flavor~ 📍Shell Museum It displays a wide variety of shells, corals 🪸, pearls, and conch specimens, as well as a rich collection of jewelry and accessories! What is this? This is art! 📍Old Earth Museum Most of the exhibits come from Rene Boissevain's private collection. You can see all kinds of exotic minerals and gems, and you can also buy some exquisite handicrafts 🛍️ They make dazzling souvenirs~
