. The village Giethoorn has no roads

But that doesn’t mean there’s no way to get around…

The most common mode of transportation is by “whisper boats”, which have noiseless engines

Therefore, the village is very peaceful…

The loudest sounds you’ll hear is probably the quacking of a duck (well, when it isn’t flooded with tourists, of course)

Also known as “the Venice of the Netherlands”, this magical village was founded around 1230

Its first inhabitants found numerous peat deposits and dug many holes over the years

Eventually, these holes turned into lakes

The newly created islands were connected with more than 176 bridges

Which give the village a cozy fairy-tale touch…
