Speulderbos (Forest of the Dancing Trees)

Highlight • Forest

People used to think that the Speulderbos was haunted. A musician is said to have played in the forest for a group of horsemen, for whom he had also played at Staverden Castle the night before. Both times the riders allegedly behaved rather unpleasantly towards the musician. As punishment, they were turned into dancing trees in the forest. Do you still recognize the dancing horsemen in the tribes?
