It is a sandstone formation from the Rotliegend, the last phase of the Earth's ancient history from 296 - 251 million years ago. Sandstone forms from sediment layers at the bottom of rivers, which solidify under high pressure and over a long period. Sandstone formations differ by inclusions, e.g. iron veins. Sandstone without marl inclusions was sought after as a very stable building material.

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). It is located on the summit of Potzberg, near Föckelberg (Westpfalz) and offers a panoramic view over Westpfalz, the Palatinate Forest, and up to the Hunsrück/Vosges.

The entrance is somewhat hidden at the side of the road; only when you are inside do you realize its size.

The entrance is marked by a small sign, but it is not easy to see.
