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 and is a popular destination. Next to the tower, there is a wildlife park, a falconry, and a hotel-restaurant. 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. Opening hours: There are no specific, official closing times for the tower.

The Potzberg, as part of the Palatinate Saddle, is primarily formed by the Heusweiler strata of the Upper Carboniferous. They consist of sandstones, arkoses, mudstones, and interbedded conglomerates. In these sedimentary rocks, cinnabar ores (HgS), which represent a compound of mercury with sulfur, were deposited along the fault lines. The toxic heavy metal mercury (Hg), one of the seven metals of antiquity, was used in the 18th century primarily for barometers, mirror production, amalgamation (gold and silver extraction), and in medicine.

The "Yellow Water" is the drainage tunnel of the Davidskrone mercury mine near Föckelberg, which was closed in 1860. It was founded in 1781 by Philipp Schildt and named after the carpenter David Kron. The yellow color of the water comes from the iron-rich ochre that is washed out of the rock.
