Giethoorn is a well-known tourist village in the Netherlands, dubbed the
"Venice of the North". This is because of the fact that the village has no
motor-able roads, and all transport is done by water over one of the many
intersecting canals.
The water surrounds came from the big flood of St Elizabeth in 1170, and
the village itself was founded and developed back in 1230 when
Mediterranean fugitives came to settle here. The fugitives discovered many
horns of wild goats which had probably died in the flood, and that is where
the name comes from. Originally they called the settlement 'Geytenhorn'
which means 'horn of goats', eventually becoming Giethoorn over the years.

The village owes it characteristic appearance to peatdigging. The
peatdiggers dug up the peat-soil at the places that most suited them, mixed
it in a trough and spread it out on the land to dry. This led to the
formation of large and small lakes. To transport the peat, ditches and
canals were excavated. Many houses are as it were built on little islands,
reached through a high bridge. The villagers use small boats with a quiet
electric motors known as whisper boats, and wooden bridges are used to
connect one island with another.
Giethoorn became famous, especially after 1958, when the Dutch film maker
Bert Haanstra made his famous comedy "Fanfare" there.
