What should you do if you encounter a wolf?

Nature

There are various locations in the Netherlands where you could encounter wolves. While this should not involve any danger for you, it is wise to remember that wolves are predators. We advise against walking or cycling in semi or complete darkness. Moreover, the White Bikes are not equipped with lamps, as the Park closes around sunset all year round.

What should you do if you encounter a wolf?

  • stay calm
  • keep your distance
  • obey the park rules and do not stray from the designated roads and paths
  • give the wolf space
  • do not approach or follow the wolf
  • if the wolf comes towards you, make yourself look as large as possible and make a lot of noise to scare the wolf off
  • if you feel threatened, call the alarm number of the Park: +31 (0)55-3788166
