Highlights
- Marken - If you’re visiting Marken, you can’t miss the little wooden houses. Until the 17th century, residents built their homes on ‘werven’, artificially built hills. In this way, they prevented damage from floods. They then built their homes on stakes. Since the building of the Afsluitdijk, the island has no longer been flooded, but the typical houses remain.
