Water Playground and Kiosk at Ohmbachsee

Highlight • Rest Area

The kiosk is also open during the Corona pandemic and sells "ToGo". Can then be consumed downstairs at the seating area by the water playground.

Food and drink: The schnitzel is not the biggest, but it is tasty and reasonably priced. Fries are sufficiently portioned. There is ice cream to slurp.

Former Glantal Railway Route

Highlight • Cycleway

The Glantalbahn is a non-electrified and now largely disused railway line that runs largely in Rhineland-Palatinate and to a small extent in Saarland, mainly along the river Glan. It was built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, primarily for strategic reasons. The Glan-Münchweiler - Altenglan section was built in 1868 as part of the Landstuhl - Kusel railway line. In 1896 and 1897, the Lauterecken - Odernheim - Staudernheim section followed, initially as a continuation of the Lautertalbahn opened in 1883. The other sections Homburg - Glan-Münchweiler, Altenglan - Lauterecken and Odernheim - Bad Münster were opened in 1904. In Odernheim, the railway line split into the branch to Staudernheim, which had existed since 1897, and the branch to Bad Münster.

Due to the sparse population in the region, traffic was rather low except during the two world wars, when the route was of strategic importance. After the Second World War, the second track was gradually dismantled. From 1961 to 1986, passenger traffic was discontinued on large parts of the railway line. Since 1996, the line has been closed with the exception of the Glan-Münchweiler - Altenglan section, which is part of the connection from Landstuhl to Kusel. The Glantalbahn has been dismantled between Waldmohr and Glan-Münchweiler and between Odernheim and Bad Münster. Since the beginning of 2000, a draisine rental company has been offering draisines for self-drivers on the Altenglan - Staudernheim section.
