Wild Life Hike (Zuid-Kennemerland National Park) - Episode 2

Last December, some of us enjoyed the surprising beauties of Zuid-Kennemerland National Park. Let’s enjoy blending with wild life again.

So pick up your camera, take warm and comfy clothes, let’s explore this park together and see what we can find.

We will meet at 11AM, at the Nationaal Park Zuid-Kennemerland on Sunday February 12th.

The meetup point will be the visitor’s center at the following adress
Tetterodeweg 27 2051 Overveen, (it is the entrance: De Zandwaaier).

The visitors center will be closed, but the there is a place for coffee just next to it. I suggest we meet there in the warmth. When you arrive at the visitors center, finding the coffee shop is evident. Once you’re there, head for the table packed with cameras.

I have been to this park only once, it was a very agreeable surprise with multiple landscapes spread in a short distance, with wild animals and birds hanging out everywhere (last time we met sheeps, shettland poneys and bisons!). Amazing to know there is this little nature paradise so close to home (Check out the website: http://www.np-zuidkennemerland.nl/documents/home.xml?lang=nl).

We will take a hiking route that starts from the parking. Probably the same as last time, but we will improvise some variation depending on what we encounter.

There are multiple options to go there. There is a bus stop next to the Bezorkercentrum (Bus 81), and a train station (Overveen) is at a walking distance. Additionally, there is a parking for car users: From the Bezoekerscentrum, it is the other side of the N200 road (Note it is a paying parking - if you search well, I think there are free alternatives at walking distances).

For details: the best is that you check the relevant page on the website.

I will be travelling by car. I can pick up to three people from Leiden Station. Let me know if you need a ride.

And finally, if the evening before, the weather forecast predicts horrid skies, I will send a cancelling note to everybody.

A bientôt!
