traffic

Under Napoleon , the Kaiserstraße Paris – Mainz ran through the town, which was identical to Bundesstraße 40 in this area until October 2004 and was then downgraded to Landesstraße 401 in connection with the construction of the nearby motorway . The place is also on the state road 395 , which connects it with Landstuhl and Worms . To the west is the Kaiserslautern motorway triangle , which connects to Mainz via the federal motorway 62 and to Saarbrücken and Mannheim via the federal motorway 6 .

The Kaiserslautern – Enkenbach railway line , on which the district previously had a train station, also runs through Eselsfürth . This had a mechanical control room in a standardized design, which was put into operation in 1938 and is no longer relevant for rail operations. His station building was also built in the 1930s. Passenger traffic was discontinued in 1987, but reactivated in 1997 to save trains of the Alsenz Valley Railway the detour via Hochspeyer . Nevertheless, there has been no reactivation of the Eselsfürth train station for passenger transport so far. A siding branches off to a nearby barracks of the United States Army . The place is connected to the local traffic via the bus line 104 of the traffic association Rhein-Neckar operated by the SWK Verkehrs-AG , which connects it with the city center and with Bännjerrück .

The Barbarossa cycle path and the Wanderlaus hiking path run through Eselsfürth and run in a semi-arch around Kaiserslautern from the water tower north of Eselsfürth over the Humberg tower to Hohenecken Castle . In addition, the place is on the route of a hiking trail, which is marked with a blue-yellow bar . This connects him to Lauterecken and Sankt Germanshof, among others .
