Very interesting
If you don't have time to do the circle walk around the island (10 km, 2 hours) then this walk is a good one to do. You learn how people deal here with water and wind.

Amazing to see the flood height
It would have been very scary when the flood height was at its peak for the residents of Marken in 1916. It is now protected by the dyke from flooding and you can drive to it from Amsterdam easily.
