Hii, steemians... Greetings prosperous and healthy always. This time I will Giethoorn
Giethoorn is a tourist village in the Netherlands, dubbed "Venice of the North". Dubbed like that because there are no motorized ground vehicles that can pass there, and transportation can only be done on the water, in canals that branch into many streams of small rivers.
The water that surrounds and inundates the village begins with the arrival of the great flood of St. Elizabeth in 1170, and the village itself was established and redeveloped in 1230 when the Mediterranean fugitives came to settle here. The fugitives found many wild goat horns that may have been killed by the flood, and that's where the name of the village came from. Originally the village was called 'Geytenhorn' which means 'goat horn', eventually becoming Giethoorn after all these years.
Many houses are built on small islands, reached by a high bridge. The villagers used a small boat with a soft motor sound known as a whisper boat, and a wooden bridge used to connect one island with another.
Giethoorn became famous, especially after 1958, when the Dutch comedian Bert Haanstra made the famous comedy "Fanfare" there.
