Highlight • Historical Site

Located directly on the Glan-Blies cycle path, it is a good idea to take a short break under the dangling ropes. In any case, a table and benches are available. Although - it's a little macabre.

Very nice route, was the first time at the water treading facility and at the fish pond in Nanzdietschweiler. Nice route through the forest to the fisherman's hut

Am on the outskirts of Gimsbach turned left drn Feldwirtschaftweg up. The route is mostly paved, the rest up to the tower is very bad, partly gravel or forest paths in miserable condition 🙈 Can only be ridden with an e-bike.

Once a year you have to answer its call 😅
Storming the Potzberg tower for the first time...after 172 steps you are rewarded with a fantastic view.
To top it all off, there was of course a free shower at the end of the tour 🥵🚿
