Subjects : From the point of view avifaunal are not very experienced, but at dawn walking the streets of the port and to the fields I saw herons, egrets, cormorants, various types of wild geese, coots, mallards and other species that do not know the name .. From the point of view of nature / historic village offers many interesting views, from the streets of the port to the reflections of the channels in the surrounding countryside. Definitely the best time to visit Marken is at dawn when the hordes of tourists (especially in summer) are still in deep sleep and you find yourself walking alone in the old port in the classic northern European atmosphere. In all this, hit a good day in terms of weather can make the difference between output went well and went wrong.

Recommended equipment : From ultra-wide-angle (to use the streets of the village) across the wide-angle and telephoto to get to super-telephoto, everything can be useful. For landscapes I would say 12 to 70 mm, while for birds 300mm should be enough (on FF) because sometimes you find yourself face to face with herons 2-3 meters away.

Best months : How best time I would recommend the spring and summer (tourists permitting) as they present a milder climate than autumn and winter. Forgo the autumn and winter days, except in the case where there is snow could add that extra touch to the atmosphere, is in itself magical village.

How to get there : By car: you arrive at the gates of the town and park the only parking available (for a fee, € 3.5 for the car + 0.5 € per person). is absolutely forbidden to go beyond the parking lot if you do not have special permissions. By Bus: From Amsterdam Central Station, the line 331 (if I remember correctly) goes directly to the village by train: Marken has a railway station and is therefore not possible to reach by train

Visits : Aside from the parking lot, everything else is free entry (unless you get into a museum)
