Sometimes called the Venice of Netherlands, Giethoorn is a Dutch village, which for a long time didn’t have any roads, just canals. It has approximately 2,500 citizens and over 180 wooden arch bridges, which connects the farmhouses.
It’s located in the province of Overijssel and it was apparently built by Mediterranean fugitives in the 13th century. The canals were dug up by monks and were mainly used to transport peat through its network.
