Anyone cycling from Lauterecken to Odenbach will pass the first four of a total of 40 cellars right outside the village: the mountain cellars on the right-hand side of the hill. The historic cellars on the forest path toward Cronenberg bear witness to a significant change in agriculture in the 18th century.

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.
