The Potzbergturm is a 35-meter-high sandstone tower on the 562-meter-high Potzberg near Föckelberg (Kusel district). It was built in 1951 (inauguration 13.07.1952), offers a wide view over the Palatinate Forest to the Vosges mountains and is a popular excursion destination. Next to the tower, there is a wildlife park, a falconry, and a hotel-restaurant (closed).
