De Witte Hoeve

The service was very disappointing ,we waited  for a very long time to get service,  the waitresses had a very bad temper and they even forgot 2 dishes we ordered . I would&#39;t recommend this restaurant  , it seemed the stuff  there is annoyed with customer&#39;s presence.

It has been established for more than 100 years. There is a sign at a small bridge. You can walk along the bridge to a cafe that extends to the center of the lake. Sitting in the cafe, you can enjoy the entire reed marsh and tourists rowing in it. I think it&#39;s great to stay there for an afternoon! The waiter who greeted us was the grandson of the founder and joked: you are millionaire.

**🌿 Guide to a one-day trip to Giethoorn: Entering the fairytale water town of the Netherlands** 

**🚤 Transportation** 
From Amsterdam, drive about 1.5 hours or take the train to Steenwijk Station and then transfer to the bus (Route 70). It is recommended to arrive in the morning to avoid the afternoon tourist crowd. 

**✨ Must-experience** 
1. **Canal Cruise**: Rent an electric boat (about 20 euros/hour), shuttle through the reed-filled waterways, pass by the iconic thatched roof cottages, and take a picture of the postcard scenery. 
2. **Explore on foot**: Stroll along the Dorfweg trail and visit the Old Farm Museum (Museum Giethoorn &#39;t Olde Maat Uus) to learn about the history of the village. 
3. **Internet celebrity check-in**: Must stop at the water cafes in the Kerkweg area (such as Fanfare Caf&eacute;), order apple pie with coffee, and sit by the river to watch the ducks swim by. 

**🍴 Food Recommendation** 
Choose De Grachthof restaurant for lunch and try traditional Dutch pancakes (Pannenkoeken) or herring sandwiches. 

**💡 Tips** 
- Remember to wear sunscreen in summer, and you can experience ice sliding in winter (requires extremely cold weather). 
- There are no cars in the village, so wear comfortable shoes for easy walking. 

**📌 Final reminder**: The beauty of Giethoorn lies in &quot;slowness&quot;, leave half a day and let yourself get lost in the waves and greenery! #Giethoorn #HollandTravel #GiethoornCheck-in #FairytaleWatertown in the Netherlands #GiethoornTravelGuide
