Arrive at the entrance of Anna's Hoeve before the sun breaks the horizon. The corten steel figures of the fox, deer, badger, and birds are still in shadow, waiting for the light.

Watch the sunrise. The sun sets toward the SW, but in the morning light of January, the eastern exposure will illuminate the ensemble. The warm steel tones begin to stand out against the waking sky.
08:51
Walk to Matthijs Boon Brood en Banket. This bakery opens at 07:30, which is shortly after the 08:41 sunrise. Grab a warm pastry or fresh bread to take with you or eat at a nearby bench.
