In the Speulderbos near Ermelo stands Wildarena de Witte Hoogt. In the middle of a wildlife resting area lies this idyllic place to spot wildlife. From the covered wildlife observation post in the middle of the forest there is a clear view of a clearing, where red deer, roe deer and wild boar regularly show themselves up close.
The Wildlife Arena can only be visited under the guidance of the Forestry Commission. You meet the guide from Staatsbosbeheer at the parking lot, after which you ride the electric Speulderbus silently to the wildlife resting area. There you get off and walk 10 minutes to the Wildlife Arena. Take a seat on the wooden benches and wait for what's to come.... with a little luck, the wild animals will show themselves: an experience to remember. After about an hour, as the sun slowly sets, walk and ride back at dusk.
