Potzberg, Mountain summit in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
The Potzberg rises to 562 meters above sea level, featuring dense forests and distinct limestone formations throughout its slopes and ridges.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, miners extracted cinnabar, a mercury-containing mineral, from the northern section of Potzberg mountain.
The 35-meter Potzberg Tower, completed in December 1951, stands as a regional landmark and formerly served as a radio broadcasting station until the 1990s.
Multiple hiking trails connect to the summit, where visitors find the Wildlife Park, a hotel, and observation points for regional landscape views.
The mountain hosted automobile racing competitions until 1997, with drivers competing on the challenging route from Mühlbach village to the peak.
