Cycling on the Lautertal Cycling Route
The well-signposted Lautertal Cycling Route runs from Kaiserslautern via Otterbach, Katzweiler, OlsbrĂĽcken, Sulzbachtal and Wolfstein to Lauterecken. It opened in summer 2005. At the entrance to Sulzbachtal, the route crosses the B 270 and follows the cycle path alongside the road towards OlsbrĂĽcken. This makes it possible to distinguish between the full connection from Kaiserslautern to Lauterecken and the specific section through the town. When planning a stage, you can take both sections into account separately. Check local conditions before setting out.

The station is on the B 270 and is served by the Lautertalbahn in both directions: towards Kaiserslautern and towards Lauterecken-Grumbach.
