Giethmen

Giethmen is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Overijssel.

It is a part of the municipality of Ommen, and lies about 21 km east of Zwolle.

Because Giethmen does not have its own church, its inhabitants used to walk (and later bicycle) up and down to Ommen twice every Sunday.

The trail's pedestrian bridge across the Regge, known as the Giethemerkerkbrug, has become an icon for Giethmen.

Today the Giethemer Kerkpad is part of a popular hiking and bicycle trail.
