The following German [[Raststätte]]s do allow traffic to cross from one side to the other. Note that most of the information was copied verbatim from '''Tanken & Rasten 1997, Zweites Halbjahr''' (the last official booklet of the Tank & Rast organisation), and no attempt was made to verify the current situation!

In [[Germany]] walking to the opposite rest area is often, but not always, possible through so-called "service roads". Using these service roads it takes quite often less than 20 minutes to go to the opposite rest area, and the walk can almost always be completed within 45 minutes.

In Germany walking to the opposite rest area is often, but not always, possible through so-called "service roads". Using these service roads it takes quite often less than 20 minutes to go to the opposite rest area, and the walk can almost always be completed within 45 minutes.

This overview is rather complete for the whole of Germany. Here is a map with the German motorway network, service stations and how long it takes to walk to opposite rest areas.

On Rast.de you can check more details about German Raststättes (eg. if they have Wifi or showers).

The following German Raststättes do allow traffic to walk from one side to the other:

A 1

  • Neustädter Bucht, walk about 30 minutes, crossable on the southbound direction
  • Buddikate, walk about 20 minutes, crossable on the northbound direction
  • Hamburg-Stillhorn, walk about 15 minutes, crossable on the southbound direction
  • Ostetal, walk about 20 minutes, crossable on the southbound direction
