Between noon and 5 p.m. is rush hour in Giethoorn and it can sometimes be quite crowded on ‘het Binnenpad’ (Giethoorn center), but you have plenty of room on ’t Wiede (the big lake). From 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM is a great time, but it can get a little crowded. We especially recommend the 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. period. This is a quieter time to cruise in Giethoorn and you can often enjoy the beautiful scenes during the evening sun.
