Large parking area for travellers and truckers to rest or sleep, with a bakery, electric-vehicle charging stations, and a restaurant/café. Toilets and showers are free for customers and 2 euro for non-customers; the hot shower has unlimited use, requires a key deposit, and is beside the urinals in the men's toilet. Truck and road noise are audible, while the restaurant was reported open from 5am to 10pm.

You can take a hot shower here for €2—absolutely excellent. I don't mind at all that the urinals are directly next to the shower. The main thing is being able to freshen up properly. Anyone who has a problem with that should perhaps buy one of those luxury campers or go to a hotel. We ate here: extremely cheap and surprisingly good. For a service station, it is perfectly fine.Translating
Review concerning the shower: €2 for non-customers, with the key held as a deposit. Unlimited time and good water pressure. There is only one shower cubicle, in the men's toilet, freely accessible opposite the urinals. For me as a woman, an absolute no-go. It also smelled strange in the shower and had not been cleaned. I felt extremely uncomfortable.Translating
We spent one night here. The nearby restaurant closes at 10 p.m. and opens at 5 a.m. Aside from the parking area, there is a small park with picnic tables. The trucks on the national road can be heard, but in a pinch you can sleep here safely.Translating
