Oud Giethoorn and Old Giethoorn<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Oud Giethoorn represents the original character of the village. Peace, space and life shaped by the water.
\nThe Old Giethoorn initiative<\/strong><\/a> is a collaboration of local entrepreneurs in Giethoorn North and Giethoorn Middle, inspired by that same idea.
\nTogether they invite visitors to experience Giethoorn as it was meant to be.<\/p>\n

What do we mean by Oud Giethoorn?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Oud Giethoorn does not refer to a separate place, but to the feeling of the original village.
\nA Giethoorn with quiet canals, thatched farmhouses and personal hospitality.
\nLess mass tourism and more attention to nature, culture and tranquillity.<\/p>\n

This character can mainly be found in Giethoorn North and Giethoorn Middle.
\nThese areas form the foundation of the story this collaboration wants to share.<\/p>\n
