April 30, 2026, Zigzag Trail

The Zickzack Trail on the Potzberg (also known as the President's or Snake Path) in the Westpfalz region is a popular, moderately difficult mountain bike trail with several hairpin turns. It leads in snake-like windings up the 562-meter-high "King of the Westrich" and offers a pleasant gradient.

Bring binoculars to better observe the many different birds and animals at Kranichwoog! Also, there are numerous well-designed information panels and a flyer about the "Natura 2000 Kranichwoog Adventure Trail" with lots of explanations! The corresponding website is also highly recommended: www.kranichwoog.de

The zigzag path on the Potzberg, also known as the Presidential or Snake Path, leads up the mountain in several switchbacks and offers a pleasant incline thanks to its serpentine route. The path owes its name to its characteristic course and the fact that high-ranking visitors, including presidents, used to take this route to the summit.
