Take a walk on through the world of the old potters - you can find a description of this walk here (in german)

Raeren is an old pottery village, which is characterized not only by its tranquil forest and meadows, but also by many historical buildings.

Right next to the Raeren castle (14th century) is for example "House Raeren" (14th century). This is a late medieval tower, which has maintained its original design. Surrounded by a moat, on them white swans swim, the defiant building with its small windows and loopholes is situated in the middle of a well-kept park. Raeren house is privately owned. It belongs to the family Blank. The father of the current owner was Andrew Blank, a famous painter whose oil paintings and stained glass windows are to be admired by others in the Pottery Museum Raeren, in the parish church of St. Nicholas and "Marie's home".

In the village Raeren there are other historical buildings such as the Knoppenburg (17th century), "House Bergscheid" (16th century), the St. Nicholas Church (18th century) or the Anna Chapel (18 c.entury) near the museum.

You can reach these buildings by the numerous meadow paths leading inland of the roads and built through extensive meadows and rear landscape and inviting for long walks.

A total of six hiking trails lead from the museum through the various districts and invite you to discover the different parts of the expansed village. Maps are available the information office at the counter of the museum.

A walking opportunity in the immediate vicinity of the museum passes House Raeren, along the Periolbach and leading to the so-called High Bridge. This results in seven feet above the bed of the Periolbaches, which was formerly used as a hollow way to transport the Raeren ceramics using carts.
The point at which the drivers drove into the creek bed in, is still visible clearly. The entire area is a listed protected landscape.
A few hundred meters further you reach the farm "on Blar". In the early 20th Century, the grandparents of the famous German poet Josef Ponten lived here.
A little further you come eventually to "Maries home", an idyllic former mill (17th century), which today serves as the best and most comfortable home for the elderly in the region.
