sentences:  The municipality lies in the Kusel "Musikantenland" (“Minstrels’ Land”) in the Western Palatinate, on the middle Glan, through whose narrow valley run "Bundesstraße" 420, the once strategically important "Glantalbahn" (railway) and the river Glan itself side by side with each other.Right at this narrowing in the dale nestles a greater part of the village, about a kilometre long, stretching along both sides of the roadway, lying in some spots right beneath the dale's steep slopes.The other half of the village is squeezed into two side valleys that run down to the Glan through which run the Wingertsbach and the Gölschbach.
