.Volendam and the old town on the dikeThe first destination of the group was Volendam, a fishing village more than 20 kilometers north of Amsterdam. Located on the shores of Lake Karten, this fishing village impresses strongly with the beauty of the old-style fishing fleet of 240 ships regularly parked on the harbor. Lake Karten used to be a sea, but since the sea dike separates the salt water, the lake gradually becomes a freshwater lake In the nearly 700-year-old coastal town, the locals are dressed in traditional Dutch costumes, cute Especially women's attire with a clay-dotted long dress, combined with apron, pointed bonnet hat and wooden clogs.



Volendam train station is crowded and fun However, Volendam is famous in Europe thanks to its ring dike around the village. Standing on the dike surface, we clearly feel that the sea level outside the dike is at least 3m higher than the residential areas inside the dike. In the old days, the first dikes were only about 1m high for the purpose of protecting crops. from being flooded. Gradually, each tidal cycle in the coastal area leaves a sediment layer at the edge of the dyke. This sediment layer is getting thicker and wider. It was then that the Dutch began to add new dikes on these gradually stabilizing sediments, and later embankments began to increase in height and width, encircling areas of sediment new.



The floods of alluvium from rivers will continue to compensate for land that is already mangrove sediment within the new dyke. After a few hundred years, many new lands have formed and new villages sprouted. Lovely Volendam Ancient Town In Volendam, the dyke body is home to rows of beautiful decorative old houses. The house is all made of wood painted in green, with dark gray tiled roofs, door frames, decorative lines and graphically painted black columns. The park is planted with colorful flowers. Most of the old houses have become souvenir shops, traditional costumes, specialty cheese ...



and are restaurants serving the specialties of smoked eel and other fresh seafood. hours of living by traveling. Shops selling souvenirs such as wooden clogs, dolls, wooden clocks, woodcut pictures are always crowded with visitors.Since hundreds of years ago, Volendam has attracted many famous artists from the world to visit. visit and draw pictures, including Picasso. It is said that he has stayed here for a long time to paint pictures of the harbor, the precarious wooden houses on the dyke body, the canal system and the bridge operated by winches running through the main canal running in the middle of the city. town ..



. Volendam Museum currently holds about 4,000 paintings by hundreds of painters about this town "below sea level". After a while in the middle of Doolhof - a small neighborhood that looks like a matrix, we arrived at the harbor. At the end of the morning, the last eel fishing boats depart from night to the wharf, the fish market meets right on the pier, the sounds and flavors evoke the old atmosphere ... Standing from the harbor can be seen The sea dyke was a long way over the glittering lake. The tiny village road full of flowers The clear blue canals ran through the village of Marken, the quiet village Also located by Lake Karten, the village of Marken was just a dozen minutes by boat from Volendam.



Volendam Marken Express for 7.5 euros. However, the Amsterdam region day ticket does not include this train ticket, so in order to save, we take the bus back to Amsterdam and from here take the bus to Marken.A corner of Marken Village Fortunately, these villages are just from the center city half an hour car drive. Out about 15 kilometers from the city, Marken appeared in front of her like an oasis of peace. Which is right! This was once an island since the 13th century, when the North sea level rose.Until the five-kilometer sea dike connecting Marken to the mainland in 1957, the Marken were used to calling. The Dutch outside the village were "land dwellers.



" For centuries, the Marken were isolated from the outside. There are many differences in their life, their lifestyles are still preserved today. Walking on a long sea dike, I feel like I'm floating on the water, overlooking the four surfaces of the water. country. Then suddenly appeared a fairy-style village with outstanding colors in the blue sky.
