Walking route along the canals of Giethoorn

Your starting point Hotel & Restaurant De Kruumte is just a ten-minute walk from the pleasant center of Giethoorn. Here you will discover typical Giethoorn farms, canals, bridges and numerous small-scale museums such as De Oude Aarde Museum. Part of the traffic takes place over the water via so-called punts that - just like the gondolas in Venice - are propelled by a punt boom. At Beulakerweg 80 you will see the oldest building in Giethoorn: the Reformed Church, dating from 1645. The landscape around Giethoorn also has a lot to offer. You walk past waving reed collars and flowery meadows. Here you will enjoy beautiful views of lakes such as the Molengat, which were created during flood disasters around 1800. You will also pass a mill: Giethoorn Noord.
