Beautiful old building

The early 14th-century civic tower once served, in addition to its defensive function, as a debtors' prison on its second floor when a debtor couldn't pay or provide a reliable guarantor. Drunkards, rioters, adulterers, and parents whose children were truant from school also received a short "tower punishment." Until the end of the 17th century, a circular enclosure preceded the tower.

Three-story late Gothic building with a half-hipped roof, partially slated timber framing, hall ground floor, around 1517, architect probably Philipp von Gmünd; stair tower 1580, spindle 1652

The Glan Valley Railway is a non-electrified and now largely disused railway line, running largely in Rhineland-Palatinate and to a small extent in Saarland. It runs mainly along the Glan River. 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. The Lauterecken – Odernheim – Staudernheim section followed in 1896 and 1897, initially as a continuation of the Lauter Valley Railway, which opened in 1883.

Well-preserved city walls, beautiful old town

Along the Glan or on the city wall.

A not so worthwhile change on the way through very neglected allotments

The path is completely overgrown and dilapidated.
