The Appenheim kermis (church consecration festival, locally known as the Kerb) is always held in early June.
The municipality is crossed by Landesstraße (state road) 415. The Autobahnen A 60 and A 63 can be reached by car in ten to twenty minutes.
There are a municipal kindergarten and a primary school, Grundschule Welzbachtal.
The Appenheimer Hundertgulden vineyard on the slopes of the Westerberg is the vineyard with the highest carbonate content of all in Germany. From this come wines with a fruity sourness at high pH levels which are quite mineral-laden but nevertheless very salubrious.
