Description

The High Bridge spans the Periol stream to the south of Raeren Castle. It was built in the 18th century in the bluestone typical of the region. There is a footpath that goes over the bridge. Under the bridge, wagons laden with pottery were driven along the bed of the stream towards Raeren Castle and then on to Aachen. This is why the bridge was built with an overhead clearance of 6 metres.
