The Wisentbos is a varied deciduous forest that is located near the village of Dronten. Fun fact: in East Flevoland, every village has its own village forest. In a number of places, these have now become surprising nature areas, rich in flora and fauna, such as the Wisentbos. Wisents are no longer here, but keep your eyes open for other unique creatures, such as beavers, kingfishers and foxes.

The Wisentbos is a village forest located on the edge of the village of Dronten. Originally, the forest area on the planting table was designed by the Rijksdienst voor de IJsselmeerpolders. The village forest was realized in 1969. After the land was issued, management was transferred to Staatsbosbeheer. The village forest underwent a major facelift in 2003. With various participants, an urgent need of the people of Dronten has been fulfilled to place more emphasis on a recreational, natural environment. The Wisentbos Foundation wants to continue on this path.
