Vorstengraf (Oss)

The Vorstengraf (grave of the king) in Oss is one of the largest burial mounds in the Netherlands and Belgium.

The mound is now partly restored, a portion of the circumference of the hill is marked with poles.

To the east of Oss a new highway was built to connect the A50 and A59 from Emmeloord to 's-Hertogenbosch (formerly the junction with the N265 Eindhoven-Oss).

This was at a crossroads of continuous ruts on the heath and the remains of two victims were found nearby.

There are folk tales associated with the mound, local historian Jan Cunen (1884–1940) once recorded that a prince must have been buried in the heath.
