Just like in Volendam artists were drown to the sight of the colourful traditional clothing and the little town with its beautiful harbour, the small alleys and the many bridges. When the ‘Vreemden’ came, it meant a growing source of income from the poor Markers. There was one woman who was as first! She had a business instict and made Marken into a tourism attraction! For sixty years she shown visitors her modest typical house. The souvenir shop she also had, is still standing at Havenbuurt 21, where you can still buy your souvenirs! In 1983 Sijtje Boes died. 2. Hof van Marken: In 1903 there was a fire in Hotel de Jong, in Marken. The fire had severe consequences. The houses were all made of wood and stood so close to each other that in a short time, all nearby houses were burning. The fire department in Marken could not handle this fire alone and needed help of the department in Monnickendam. At that time, Marken was still an island, so the fire truck was loaded on a motorboat. That night it was so foggy that the boat could not find Marken, so they had to turn back. The fire destroyed many houses. After 1903 hotel de Jong was rebuild, nowadays know as Hof van Marken. This was also the place where the painters stayed to paint the pittoresk island. The Hotel was the first to receive a phone connection on Marken, everyone loved to use this! 3.

  • Wandelnetwerk Noord-Holland DE VINEX VAN HEERHUGOWAARD
    Wandelnetwerk Noord-Holland DE VINEX VAN HEERHUGOWAARD Veel water en groen in de vinexwijken van Heerhugowaard. Tekst en foto’s Joop Duijs e rijkste 1% van de wereldbevolking bezit de helft van alle rijkdom op deze aarde. Ja, laat dat maar even tot u D doordringen… Van alle tijden, deze hemeltergende ongelijkheid. Zo’n vierhonderd jaar geleden leefden de rijken van ons land ook al in de Grachtengordel van Amsterdam. Ze verdienden hun gigantische kapitaal met de VOC en zochten naar allerlei manieren om hun geld te investeren om zodoende nog rijker te worden. Met hun geld werden niet alleen de Schermer en Beemster drooggemalen, ook de Waert werd leeggepompt met de bedoeling er landbouwgrond van te maken. Maar in tegenstelling tot de Schermer en Beemster was de grond van de Heerhugowaard, zoals de drooggevallen polder werd genoemd, zo arm dat er zelfs serieus is overwogen de polder weer te laten vollopen zodat er dan in ieder geval met visvangst nog wat geld kon worden verdiend. De paden van het Waarderhout zijn van nieuw zand voorzien. nno nu zijn de Schermer en Beemster nog steeds groene oases met rechte vaarten en wegen, terwijl A Heerhugowaard een van de drukste bevolkte gebieden is van Noord-Holland. Om die vinexwijken eens te ‘beleven’ reizen we naar het Coolplein, het horecadeel van winkelcentrum Middenwaard, het grootste overdekte winkelcentrum boven het Noordzeekanaal waar we beginnen aan een leuk, 12 ½ kilometer lang ommetje. Er wordt er wel eens smalend gedaan over al die op elkaar lijkende nieuwbouw, maar de wijken doorwandelend lijkt het bepaald geen straf in Heerhugowaard te moeten wonen.
