Koedijk

Koedijk is a village in the Netherlands, in the province of North Holland.

Koedijk is most famous for its annual gondelvaart (gondola parade)[4] on the third Saturday of August.

[5] The Coedijc was the dike that protected the village of Vronen from the waters of the Rekere (or Recker), a tidal stream that ran about where the Noordhollandsch Kanaal is now located.

The population was displaced when the village was destroyed after the battle between West Friesland and Holland, and relocated to the Coedijc.

Koedijk is, as of 2017[update], the location of two of the five operational vlotbruggen ("float bridges"): Koedijkervlotbrug and Rekervlotbrug.
