Woodenshoefactory on the isle land of Marken

We quite enjoyed the demonstration of how clogs are made. The young man who did the presentation was quite energetic and clearly enjoys his work and is very proud of it. The little store inside was also neat and offered a few good photo spots with the big clog outside. Worth a look if in the area.
5. Flood memorial 'The Wave'
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 25 reviews
The artwork (The Wave) is also a sofa. To muse, to meet and to remember the power of water. ‘Collaboration’, ‘solidarity’ and ‘victory’ together with the sad side of the disaster; ‘the cry’, ‘despair’ but also ‘the helping hand’ are coming together in The Wave. This memorial has the shape of a boat, and thus symbolically incorporated the significance of Noah’s Ark.

The lighthouse ‘Paard van Marken’ (English: Horse of Marken) was built in 1839 by J. Valk. A primitive tower had been on the location since the early 18th century; the current lighthouse is declared a national monument in 1970. The tower 16 meters tall and has a light range of 16,7 Km. Every night it’s light shines over the IJsselmeer.
