Living close to the water
Look at floor height, room layout and storage, and ask how residents coped with damp, storms and limited space. The house is more than a backdrop for individual objects.
Clothing as a local code
Marken traditional costume consists of layers, colours and differences by occasion. Compare two outfits and use the explanations rather than guessing age, occasion or status yourself.
The season determines access
Shorter visiting hours apply in October; after that, check the current winter calendar. Parking is at the entrance to Marken; without a permit, you cannot drive into the village.
Before you go
The high-season schedule applies until the end of September; October has shorter hours. Check the upcoming winter closure and plan the walk from the car park.
