Step straight into the boat from your comfortable holiday home and discover the picturesque canals of Giethoorn.

Giethoorn

Giethoorn is criss-crossed by many waterways. Make your day trip complete with a boat trip through the village and the nearby Weerribben Wieden National Park. You can rent boats anywhere in the village.

Weerribben-Wieden National Park

The Weerribben-Wieden is a nature reserve formed by human hands, created in the 16th century by peat excavation for peat production. This created ‘weren’ (holes), ‘ribben’ (strips of land) and ‘wieden’ (lakes).

Anningahof Estate (Sculpture Garden)

The sculpture park of the Anningahof Estate is located on the outskirts of Zwolle, in a beautiful, natural environment. Here, everything revolves around contemporary Dutch sculpture from 1960 onwards.
