This small village is called Giethoorn and it was named this because of the many 'goat horns' found by the village's first inhabitants back in the year 1230. It is believed that the horns were a byproduct of a flood, which had occurred in the year 1170.
Our 'wandering clogs' have not yet meandered up to this small and interesting village. You can bet that it's on our list for sometime this year! (By car the trip takes approximately 1-1/2 hours from The Hague.)
It is our understanding that, once we arrive, we will then travel by boat, feet and/or bike throughout this community. And, if we go in the wintertime... well, skates become a popular mode of transportation!

Enjoy!
