Jogger’s Incredible Encounter with a Wolf on the Dutch Countryside
On a crisp December morning, Willem Kloosterhuis embarked on a jog through the scenic Veluwe region of the Netherlands. Little did she know that this routine run would lead to a thrilling, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
As 21-year-old Willemijn reached a scenic overlook, she paused to catch her breath. It was then that she made an unexpected discovery – a wolf standing just meters away, gazing curiously at her.
"I turned around and there it was, just three meters from me," Willemijn recalled. "I thought at first it might be a dog, but then I remembered I was on the Veluwe, where wolves have been spotted before."
Instinct took over as Willemijn remembered reading about how to handle a wolf encounter.
"I knew I had to stay calm and only make myself appear larger if it got closer," she explained.
The wolf, however, seemed more interested in observing Willemijn than posing a threat.
"I think it was just curious," she said. "Maybe it thought I was playing a game since I had been running."
Willemijn wasn’t alone for long. After quickly calling her mother, her father arrived on the scene. Her mother, conveniently suggesting, "He’s coming towards you, then you’re not alone", added a touch of levity to the situation.
They waited for the wolf to disappear, hoping to avoid a potentially upsetting chase. But just minutes later, Willemijn spotted the wolf again, causing a combination of amazement and a bit of fright. Willemijn decided to share this incredible encounter with the world, posting a video of the sightings on TikTok:

“It came out in the open just as my dad and I were walking along," Willemijn recounted.
"He looked at us. He wasn’t aggressive at all, but we knew we weren’t in Kansas anymore, you know?"
Luckily, the wolf retreated after this final close encounter. While chilling, Willemijn’s experience highlights the growing presence of wolves in unexpected places.
Beyond adding a bit more thrill to her weekend getaway, Willemijn’s encounter exemplifies the fascinating — and sometimes unnerving — realities of sharing our space with these majestic creatures.
