Spakenburg, Traditional fishing village in Utrecht, Netherlands
The old harbor of Spakenburg contains wooden fishing boats called botters, displaying the maritime character of this inland settlement.
The construction of the Afsluitdijk dam in 1932 transformed Spakenburg from a Zuiderzee fishing port into a freshwater IJsselmeer community.
The Klederdracht Museum exhibits regional clothing traditions, where visitors can observe the distinct rectangular kraplap garments and white lace caps.
Regular bus connections link Spakenburg to Amsterdam Central Station, with the journey taking approximately one hour through the Dutch countryside.
Five hundred elderly women in Spakenburg maintain the tradition of wearing local costumes daily, preserving centuries-old clothing customs.
