The ‘Regte heide’ is a Dutch nature reserve near the village of Goirle. One of its attractions is a barrow cemetry dating from the middle bronze age (2000-700 BC). The site consists of 7 round barrows. The excavations from 1935 revealed finds like pottery, axes, daggers,beads and button.
These finds can be seen at the Oudheidkundig Streekmuseum in the nearby village of Alphen. The museum has limited opening times, so it is advisable to look at their site before planning a visit.
Minor restorations took place in 1998 and 1999. Several of the barrows have a circle of poles surrounding them.
You can park your car on the roadside near het Hoefke 6, Riel. From there it is only a short walk to the monuments. Follow the road and when the road turns right, you go left, and after 100 meters you will see an information panel. From there, you can take the yellow walk (2.5 miles) which takes you within 2 minutes tot the barrows. If you decide to take the entire walk, you will see another barrow in the woods, just after the birdwatchers' cabin. This is the Goirle Grafheuvel.
Please do not climb the barrows. Unfortunately lots of people do, so the barrows require a lot of maintenance.
