Giethoorn

We were returning from buying curtains from a terrible smoky second-hand store in Assen which is in the North part of the Netherlands. We decided to stop in Giethoorn which is a community of homes accessible only by water. We drove through the town and thought this is not special. Then we stopped and found a path that lead to the homes.



We walked for maybe 10 minutes passing beautiful homes before we reached this home near the end of the path. A man came out dragging his garbage can. He rolled it 10 minutes to the road where it will be picked up in the morning



The area is surrounded by lakes. This house is located with access to the lake.

We are partial to homes with red shutters.



The church in Giethoorn is accessed by the canal.
