Hiking

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.

Hiking

A beautiful zigzag path up or down to / from the Potzberg.
Also ideal for introducing small hiking mice to hiking at altitudes.
Or to train your skills with a MTB d;)

Hiking

The Zickzack-Trail on the Potzberg (also called President's Trail or Snake Path) in the Westpfalz 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.
