Glan-Münchweiler station

Glan-Münchweiler station is the station of the town of Glan-Münchweiler in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 6 station and has two platforms and sidings. The station is located in the network area of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar and it is in fare zone 772 and 811. The address of the station is Bahnhofstraße 3. It was created on 22 September 1868 as a through station with the opening of the Landstuhl–Kusel railway. With the completion of the Glan Valley Railway, running from Homburg to Bad Münster, on 1 May 1904, which was built as a strategic railway, it became a junction station. It lost this function when the traffic on the latter between Schönenberg-Kübelberg and Glan-Münchweiler was discontinued in the early 1980s and the tracks were subsequently dismantled.LocationThe station has two platform tracks, a bus stop, a parking area and barrier-free access. It is located on the eastern outskirts of Glan-Munchweiler,with the railway line running parallel to Bahnhofstraße. To the north of the station area is the Haupstraße (main street) coming from the west, to the east of the line is Namen Mühlstraße. Just south of the entrance building there is a parking area for camping vans and the local volunteer fire service. To the south of the station area, federal highway 423 crosses the railway line. East of the station is the district of Bettenhausen. The Glan-Blies-Weg cycling and hiking trail passes just to the east of the station, running to the south along the former Glan Valley Railway to Waldmohr and to the north over long sections of the now dismantled second track of the line to Kusel. In addition, the station is the starting point of the Barbarossa cycling trail, running to the west.
