The area lies in the northwest of the Veluwe, east of Putten in the municipalities of Putten (Sprielderbos) and Ermelo (Speulderbos). It is part of the Natura 2000 area, protected by European regulations. The area stretches roughly from the road between Putten and Garderen in the south to the village of Garderen and the Houtdorperveld, the hamlet of Speuld and the Ermelose heath in the east and north. The size of the area is approximately 3,300 hectares. About 300 hectares of the Speulderbos, especially in the area of the hamlet Drie, consists of trees that seem to dance because of their capricious shape. The Speulderbos is therefore popularly called the "forest of the dancing trees".
