The Siegfried Line in Lambsborn: "Dragons Teeth", Bunkers, Roadblocks & a Border Crossing
1938 Foundation For a Gate Across the Highway
"Hockerlinie" Anti-tank Fortification at Heideblick
What Is There To See?   A well-preserved  plot of Dragon’s Teeth, several bunkers, and the remains of a road closure gate are visible near the village of Lambsborn, less than 10 kms from Landstuhl.  The largest patch of "Hockerlinie" is ~ 100 yard X 30 yard and almost completely intact.  Two bunkers are visible in nearby Lambsborn and the site of another is near the Dragons Teeth. The remnants of  two roadblock gates are visible in and  just outside Lambsborn. The old border crossing building is on the highway a few miles west of Lambsborn in Vogelbach.  Additional border sites and Panzergraben are about 10-15 minutes away in Waldmohr (see link).
How Long Does it Take to Get There? Plan 10-15 minutes driving to Lambsborn from Landstuhl, and 1-2 hours to see the Heideblick Dragons Teeth, Heidehof bunker, two Lambborn bunkers, and the highway closure gate posts. Vogelbach is about a 10 minute drive from Lambsborn, and the Waldmohr sites are about 5 minutes further. Combining the Lambsborn and Waldmohr sites make an intersting half-day trip without leaving the KMC. 
What Else Do I Need to Know?  The Heideblick tank traps are accessible from a farm road but require ~ 20 yards bushwhacking in the forest. Be careful - the mossy cement is slippery and the steel reinforcement rods are dangerous!  The bunker site on Heidehof requires a fairly steep 5-10 minute climb up from the road. The bunkers in Lambsborn are directly on the street.  Be careful of passing traffic at the highway gate site as there is no safe place to park.  The old border crossing is directly on B40 with easy parking. Another border crossing, roadblock, and some panzergraben are not far away in Waldmohr - check out that page too, if you want to see more.
Recommended Reading? Several excellent resources for local information are available at the museum bookstores on this site. Most are in German but the photos and locations are worth the price alone.
