It’s called Giethoorn, it’s a village in the Netherlands that was founded in the 1200s and it’s absolutely magical and beautiful and quaint and all the best things. And you know what’s the cherry on top? There are no roads here.
This adds to the whole fairy-tale atmosphere of the place. It’s very peaceful and quiet here and even the official website of the village says that the loudest noises in the village are made by ducks or other birds.
This village gets quite a few tourists because obviously, people would want to see this quaint place and enjoy a day in a place that’s green and peaceful. But as there’s no transport here, visitors have to leave their cars outside the village and get everywhere on foot. You can also rent one of the whisper boats on your own or with a local tour guide who will show you around and tell you more about this cute little place.
This village looks equally stunning all year round. In the spring and summer it’s a green haven of flowers and trees, in the autumn everything turns beautiful shades of red, yellow and orange. In the winter the canals sometimes freeze over and the village turns into a winter wonderland.
