 To reduce motorcycle accidents, the very winding road through the valley is closed to motorcycle traffic in the summer half-year (April to October); only residents, not visitors, may use motorcycles on the road during the out of bounds period.The Cuckoo Railway ("Kuckucksbähnel") runs along the Speyerbach from Frankeneck to Elmstein.This line was opened in 1909 and ran passenger services until 1960.
