April 5, 2025,Rundtour🚴‍♂️☀️Blokzijl – Giethoorn🇳🇱👍

We set off for Giethoorn in sunny weather. Parking was no problem – the south parking lot. From there, we took a lovely circular tour through Giethoorn to Bokzijl. There were lots of tourists in Giethoorn, especially Asian ones. After that, we hardly saw any other cyclists. 😉 Very beautiful nature reserves with lots of storks. A great route, especially …

Giethoorn and the Weerribben-Wieden National Park (NL) are definitely worth a visit. Small ponds, large lakes, meadows, and reed beds crisscrossed by countless ditches and canals. Great cycling paths through the countryside and also through the beautiful town of Giethoorn. It's also great to explore by boat!

Wonderful round trip around Giethorn.
At the ferry you have to pay attention to the ferry times ... in autumn only at 10:00 ... were lucky only had to wait a quarter of an hour 😀.
In the end we got really wet 🌧 ... we were lucky for that 🍀.

The paths along the canals are narrow in places and contain many bridges that may have to be crossed on foot quite often. But you can also bypass them.
The route includes a ferry ride at a cost of €1.30 and can only be paid for by card.

The tour was absolutely fantastic. The first part along the canals was fantastic. There was sooo much to see and admire 😃. We then got plenty of 🌬 in the "open space." Before the announced 🌧 arrived, we shortened the tour a bit 😉🙋🏻‍♂️

Today's bike tour started in picturesque Giethoorn. From there, we cycled towards Jonen and enjoyed the idyllic Dwarsgracht canal – a real highlight for nature lovers and photographers. A special experience was the crossing on the bicycle ferry, which took us to the other side and provided a little adventure. We continued on to Blokzijl, a charming harbor town with …

Unbelievable, there is something like a little Venice here, super narrow canals and on the "floes" in between there are neatly decorated thatched roof houses with well-kept front gardens, tidy terraces and noble-looking window decorations. Great atmosphere and well worth seeing.
