Dressed in clothing from the 19nd century, residents of the Dutch village of Linschoten perform a wooden shoes dance during the annual Monuments Day in the historical center. This is the day on which historical buildings are open to the public and old traditions, like the wooden shoes dance, are relived. Normally, contrary to what tourists might expect, Dutch people don’t walk on wooden shoes anymore.Foto: Ellen Kok
