| What to eat in Giethoorn and the Weerribben is a company with a local service area. | |
A village without roads in peat country of ditches and reed beds, with hospitality reached only by boat or on foot.
Why there are no roads
Peat cutting left a network of ditches behind. Transport went by water and has stayed that way; the small bridges connect what lies between.
The whisper boat
Electric boats without engine noise, hired by the hour. Almost all waterside hospitality has a mooring.
Freshwater fish
Pike-perch and eel from the surrounding lakes are on the menu because they come from there. In Giethoorn and Steenwijk that is the logical order.
The crowds
Giethoorn draws hundreds of thousands, mostly in summer. Anyone wanting quiet comes early in the morning or out of season.
Where to look
Giethoorn for the water, Steenwijk for restaurants, the edges for quiet.
