The Fox & Deer Hunt (With Pancakes After)

We’re dragging ourselves out of bed early to catch the coastal dunes at their absolute best. Arriving before 10 AM is the golden window to spot wild foxes while they’re actually active, and before the rest of the world wakes up and scares them off.
Last time we made the trip on two wheels, but to give us way more time to actually explore, we’re taking public transport this time. (If you’re a die-hard cyclist, feel free to bike there, just make sure your legs get you to the entrance on time!)
The Game Plan:

Rain check: If it looks like sideways rain all day, we’ll reschedule to dodge the downpour.
The Fox Strategy: Foxes don't wait for brunch. Eat breakfast before you leave or pack some quick snacks to eat on the way, because we are hitting the trails immediately to catch them doing their morning rounds.
The Walk: A casual morning stroll through mixed pine forest, open sand dunes, and quiet canals.
The True Reward: Once we've done our nature duties, we are hitting the pancake house right next to the entrance.

Logistics:

Meeting Point: Ingang Oase in Vogelenzang (Visitor Center side).
Transportation: I'll be taking Intercity 2223 Delft Campus at 9:11 from Sloterdijk (https://maps.app.goo.gl/oBuk1QVpYSZUowYTA)
Park Ticket: An entry ticket (€1.50) is required. There's a QR at the entrance.
What to Bring: Waterproof or sturdy shoes (autumn ground is ~0% dry), warm layers, and your pancake appetite.

Set an aggressive alarm, grab a warm coat, and let's go spot some wildlife.
See you in the dunes! 🦊🥞🌲
