Marken lighthouse
Marken is a former fishing village, and a wonderful attraction for a day trip. The star attraction on this peninsula is Het Paard van Marken (The Marken Horse); not a noble steed but a beautiful lighthouse! Her 16 metres tower above the former island and she draws the attention of ships far and wide, as well as visitors.
Excursion on Marken
Egasail organises sailing trips from her homeport Monnickendam, and Marken is one of our top destinations. Our Marken Lighthouse arrangements include a sailing trip to Marken and back, across the Markermeer with your friends and family or colleagues, and an excursion to the lighthouse.
