more information: Hof van Marken On the borders of the IJsselmeer, you find the splendid former isle of Marken. Even though it was only connected with the mainland in 1957, the atmosphere of old has never ceased to reign in the pretty island, with its colourful costumes, still worn especially on festive high-days. Amidst the characteristic greenpainted wooden houses at only a stone´s throw away from the harbour lies a unique location : Hotel Restaurant Hof van Marken. Hof van Marken is an excellent starting point for excursions to nearby rural villages like Durgerdam, Zuiderwoude, Broek in Waterland, Monnickendam and Volendam.
