General presentation
Giethoorn et Weerribben-Wieden
Village of canals and marsh park, with chaumieres, boats, reeds and very quiet landscapes.
The discovery of Giethoorn and Weerribben-Wieden revolves around Giethoorn, De Weerribben-Wieden and Dwarsgracht. The stay thus alternates between the countryside, riverscapes and natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. To anticipate also: very touristic in Giethoorn and boats to reserve. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Channel Village
Giethoorn
Giethoorn is recognized by its narrow channels, low bridges and stubble roofs that slow down the walk. The charm comes from the look at the water: discreet boats, damp walls and games of matter between private interior and common space.
Nature park
Parc national De Weerribben-Wieden
Weerribben-Wieden National Park has a complex humid landscape, with open areas, wooded trails and calm water. A rich experience comes from a slow journey that alternates fine observations and long lines of view.
Village
Dwarsgracht
Dwarsgracht connects river craft with a village atmosphere: docks, reflections and gentle circulation structure the discovery. The place reads as it moves forward, with attention to the passage of the boats and the details of the banks.
Historical port
Blokzijl
Blokzijl keeps the look of a small historic port, with its basin, low facades and docks that open towards the waterscapes of the area. The visit is short but very pleasant at the end of the port, especially when the light highlights the bricks and masts.
