Wissel is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is located in the municipality of Epe, about 2 km west of the town of Epe.[2]

It was first mentioned in 1273 as de Wischele. The etymology is not clear.[3] It is not a statistical entity,[4] and the postal authorities have placed it under Epe.[5] In 1840, it was home to 468 people.[6]

In 1967, a miniature zoo opened in Wissel called Dierenpark Wissel [nl]. It specialised in small animals.[7] It closed in 2015, and the animals have been relocated to other zoos.[7][6]
