There are a large number of burial mounds in the municipality of Rhenen. You will find them between Rhenen and Amerongen, but especially in the immediate vicinity of Elst. The burial mounds date from the Bronze Age (2100-800 BC).

A burial mound is a mound from prehistoric times that was used as a burial place. The mounds were raised over human remains in a pit, tree coffin, dolmen, stone coffin, coffin, urn, tomb or burial chamber. Burial mounds come in various sizes and were made of different materials, depending on the period and area. The social position of the deceased also determined the type of burial mound. The burial mound was used to bury a person or several deceased members of the community. The burial mound was often also used for burying the remains of later deceased people. These individuals were buried in the existing burial mound, with the burial mound sometimes being raised. At Rhenen are several burial mounds accompanied by a name sign, on the route of Trage Tocht Kwintelooijen.
