Road traffic
In the north of the residential area, federal highway 10 runs from Landau to Pirmasens . The B 427 branches off to the south, which originates here and leads via Dahn to Bad Bergzabern .
Rail transport
Further north and above the residential area, the Landau – Rohrbach railway , which runs parallel to the B 10, crosses the Kaltenbach district from east to west. When the line opened, your stop was initially called Hinterweidenthal-Kaltenbach .
In the course of the construction of the Wieslauterbahn (via Dahn to Bundenthal-Rumbach ) a new branch station , later renamed several times, was built around 2 km to the east ; then the old stop was renamed Kaltenbach (Pfalz) . After the passenger traffic on the - meanwhile reactivated - Wieslauterbahn had been stopped, it was given its still valid name Hinterweidenthal .
