Hiking
Between the forests near Hummelo lies the Wrangebult, a mysterious hill with a dark past. Possibly once a sacrificial site, later gallows hill, and surrounded by legends about white women and age-old battles. For those who dare: a short climb with a long aftermath.

This forest was created in the 18th century on a drifting dune from the last ice age. Eight beech avenues lead to the top, known as the Wrangebult. In the past, there was supposed to have been a gallows here, but there is no evidence of this. There are two kolks at the bulge, the Zwarte Kolk and the Witte Kolk. During the day, it is beautiful to walk here, but at night, the Witte Wieven (White Ladies) rise from the kolks.
