Raststätte Am Haarstrang Süd in Werl

After the renovations and expansion of the truck parking area, we visited the rest stop for the first time yesterday – and were very shocked. It was barely busy. Some visitors were simply using the pay-to-use restrooms. In any case, we were the only guests who wanted something to eat. Large posters advertised only fast-food options. We stated our food preference at the counter and were told, brusquely and in poor German, that it would have to be ordered at the terminal. This wasn't really a problem for us, but the employee spoke very quietly and in broken German, and the air conditioning was running far too loudly. There was neither a "hello" nor a "good day," nor a smile. Just when I thought I'd finally understood the information, I had to ask where the terminal was. She replied curtly, "Back there," again without any friendliness or gesture. After ordering at the terminal, we went back to the service counter. There, without further comment from the staff, our food was prepared. Meanwhile, the manager and another employee walked behind the counter with a garbage bag and a large, brown carton of chips. Neither of them even greeted me or smiled. Payment was made in cash. The bill was correctly billed. The dish, currywurst with fries, was served on a tray, separated on a plate and in a serving bowl. My husband got a telling-off for wanting a second tray for the second dish. All we could do was shake our heads. We then ate our meal at one of the many free tables. My chair had a broken seat and was wobbly, so I replaced it. The food was okay, but nothing more. We were mainly annoyed by the staff and the unpleasant noise level (air conditioning and music). The experience was definitely not good enough to recommend the restaurant.

Clean and well-maintained. 1 euro to pee

Large illuminated parking lot after reconstruction. Lacks a toilet next to the truck parking. Lighting. A little away from the highway. Christmas trees for every taste. At 9:00 PM on Monday there were a couple of spots.

There wasn't enough money for toilets for drivers in such a large parking lot? Surprising 😅

The food is okay, but the service, if you can call it that, is unfriendly and slow. The toilet costs €1.00.

Typical Autobahn...hectic, expensive...but the food was good.

Clean. Plenty of parking. Grassy areas for short walks with the dog. Restrooms 👍🏼 Didn't use the restaurant.

It did not look inviting and the service was so boring

The staff talks on the phone while working, ignoring the customer, which makes their treatment of foreigners worse and worse

Very unfriendly staff. When placing an order at the terminal, the staff failed to include an ordered and paid item. When we complained, this was vehemently denied and we, the six of us, were accused of being liars. This happened on August 1, 2025, around 7:00 PM.

Huge truck parking lot, can accommodate at least 50 trucks! You have to walk a lot to get there, but it's worth it! Order and cleanliness everywhere! Toilet 1€, bath 3€! There is one bath so you have to wait! The restaurant closes at 7:00 PM! Service is perfect, prices are typical German prices! (Although it may be cheaper, especially the bath!) I can only recommend it!

There's nothing wrong with the Serways restrooms. Always clean.

Clean Serways restrooms, as expected.

Perfect for a pee break or a break during the car ride. Everything is super clean! Plenty of parking nearby behind the gas station. Thank you!

No food, it rained, I do not recommend this place

The food was terrible, reheated. You ask for a menu and they give you another meal that wasn't ordered. I ordered pasta and it was cold and not even heated. You can tell it wasn't prepared food of the day even though it was 11 am in the morning. 🤷 We would have been better off going to McDonald's, at least you know what's there and it's food of the day.

Helpful and great stopover, rest.

Food and service very good is recommended for a rest

From the outside, it looks like any other station. The restrooms are clean, as expected. Unfortunately, the young man at the sales counter either doesn't really speak German or has a speech impediment. He also hasn't yet learned anything about politeness towards customers. Conclusion: One employee is casting a negative image on the entire team. It's a shame, but hopefully something will change.

One of the few rest areas including toilets that are still clean

For 1€ per person you can expect really clean toilets

Excellent parking, clean, lots of space, on Saturday 5 07.25 around 21.00 there were enough spaces. There is practically no noise from the road, I can't say for sure because I got up late and left early,

Large clean parking lot, good clean shower for 3 euros

Stopped on the way to have Wroclaw to use toilet. Didn't use any other services.

Good service. Very good food. Service, of course.

Clean and tidy, friendly staff. Everything was okay.

Hello everyone. I gave it 5 stars, good big parking for LKW, quiet. You can get water, shower 3 €, clean, but unfortunately one cabin. There is Wi-Fi at the gas station.

The parking lot is large, but on Wednesday at 8:00 pm I probably took the last place behind the cars.

So far, everything was okay. The toilet could have been cleaner. For €1.

The toilet is clean and the coffee is good 😊

A nice new rest stop with a good selection. Only the men's restrooms are too small. You'll be queuing right after a bus has just finished unloading its passengers for a break. Unfortunately, the bad habit of trucks blocking the parking spaces has become common here as well.

There are still places in the trees on Thursday at 6:30 pm.

Suitable for a break in the travel plan note10.

Meatball with fries 9.90 Presentation: see photo

An excellent and quiet parking lot for the weekend. Place for walking, in the neighboring villages there are shops that can be reached on foot, approx. 3-4km

Impudent staff does not provide a shower.

Why are truck parking lots always in the middle of nowhere? If you need to go to the bathroom after hours behind the wheel, but to get there you have to book a flight, look for local public transport, and swim across a river, it's no wonder that the grassy areas are used as toilets. Once you've made it and decided to grab a bite to eat, even though after 15 years on the road you know the offer is a complete rip-off. Bockwurst with an old roll costs €6.49. The parking lots are well laid out; anyone who wants to can sleep on the highway can, as mentioned, call a taxi or Uber first. If a tour bus arrives, you'll have to wait. Space is very limited, even for men! Grassy areas would be an idea...

Very nice and clean rest area with plenty of seating.

The dog also felt comfortable here

Standard gas station and rest stop food, but here at somewhat reasonable prices.

Probably the most disgusting currywurst with fries I've ever eaten, and for €9.99, too. The fries were half-raw and the sausage was cold. Once, and never again!

Very friendly staff and delicious food and drinks!

Quiet and safe parking. Lots of parking spaces. Friendly staff, clean toilets and shower (3€). The food from restaurant is good as well. I recommend it.

a good place for a break on the road.

A lot of people are passing through here😁👋👏

Servicemen, one shower, you can't pay extra with coupons from the toilet

Nice clean Gasoline. Great coffee. 😉

Terrible service, disrespectful attitude towards customers. The order is not completely fulfilled and then they blame you.

Shower €3, toilet €1, clean, friendly staff.

Hello dear readers. Why did I give one star? I went to the shower. but the cashier did not accept the voucher and said only cash or with a card. the voucher must also accept money. I liked everything here. Water can be collected at the truck gas station. For Germany, the parking lot is very large. Yes, there is a lot of light everywhere. Good luck to everyone on the roads.

A completely normal motorway rest stop

They forgot to build a toilet in the parking lot! There are signs with a toilet in the parking lot, yes, we need a toilet, you have to come from the bottom of the parking lot and walk 1 km to go to the toilet in Peco, a bigger shame.

The shower is working! 04/17/25

The bockwurst is really good, you can't complain

8.4.25 the shower is closed, why is the shower closed in such a large parking lot and by the highway?

08/04/2025 the shower still doesn't work ❌. Still "defect" For about 4 weeks....

The showers don't work as usual and the parking lot is a huge shame

Great big parking. But the shower doesn't work! !!!

Good parking. Quiet, calm and safe. Very bright at night. There are places available at 20:00.

The shower at this station has been broken every day for several months, it only means one thing - Germans are dirty 🤮🤮🤮

As is typical in Germany, the shower is of course closed and for Germans it's probably normal that you don't have to take a bath, but there are other nations that like to take care of hygiene, there is a large parking lot, but as in Germany, urine flows per kilometer, but this is standard in Germany.

Very good company, fast unloading and literally 10 minutes after registration. I waited.

Clean showers, there is always room in the truck parking lot

The parking lot is large and well-lit, the toilets are clean, but the shower hasn't been working for a long time, a failure, and then the drivers are dirty, no wonder when the showers are closed, people don't want to clean or there's no one, so close the showers at home and you'll see what it's like.

13/03, dusche kaput, it's a shame, you idiots

The parking lot is large, lit for 9-11 hours, there is no shower, the toilet is paid and far away! Shops nearby!

Large parking lot, lots of trucks. I'm here for the 2nd time in 2 weeks and when I ask about the shower for the 2nd time I hear: defect 🤦‍♀️ is it really so hard to take care of the people who stay here? So that they can take care of their personal hygiene, when asked if they only have one shower in such a large parking lot, I was told yes. Which seems absurd to me. Unless someone just maliciously shares it. Maybe it's worth thinking about and thanking such places by not refueling your trucks there. If they don't like us that much...

We were on the way to Bad Driburg and took a short break there. We had a toilet and got something to eat. The toilet was very clean but it cost €1 to get in. The seller from whom we bought a bockwurst was friendly and helpful as we had small requests.

03/03/2025 shower does not work (kaput)

Another station where the shower does not work. What's wrong with this country?

The parking lot is no longer new, 02/24/25 at 20:00 there are only spaces in the back!

02/25/2025 shower still not working

An area with a lot of space, it's a shame there's no shower available, we arrived tired to take a break and take a shower at 6:00 pm, and the man at the cash register informed us that there was no shower available despite there being a sign that there was

02/19/25, the shower doesn’t work, they say it’s defective, ... they just don’t want to clean it!

And the prices don't match what it says on the package, very unfriendly staff. and the toilets are not clean and the food is cold and not edible

Few things can be more annoying than when you want to take a shower like a normal person after a long day at work and the attendant refuses to give you the keys with the words "Dusch kaput"... It wouldn't be so interesting if I didn't hear this exact thing a week ago when I stopped here for the same reason. Mainly that you get paid a euro for the toilets, that's more important, right? If I was German, I would definitely get the key, wouldn't you? ordinary verbez. The same since 1939...

Quite a large parking lot. You can always find a free seat. You can collect water. The shower does not work.

Good company Attitude on the lookout super shower 🚿 toilet 🚽 600m store

As in every rest stop, not very clean toilets and everything is way too expensive

An arrogant old woman said that there is no working shower. A service area with a park this size should have enough showers. Terrible place

Excellent parking. Quiet and calm..

The shower does not work on 31.01.2025

Clean, you can use the sanitary facilities here

Terrible service, they do not allow the driver to use the shower. Germany is the worst country for drivers.

Large and lighted parking lot. Unfortunately the shower has not been working for a week

Toilets super clean. Unfortunately the water for washing your hands was almost boiling hot...

Nice service and they have a compressor for customers

The coffee was ok so far. Staff also friendly... BUT!!! If scrambled eggs with rolls are offered, then it should be clear on the notices/cards that they are prepared eggs. The notice says "natural scrambled eggs"... by that I mean it's real, fresh eggs. I've never had to eat such bad, "disgusting" scrambled eggs. And then for 7 euros, really awesome. I will no longer drive to this rest stop in the future. I like it much better a few kilometers further.

Very clean toilets. The food on offer is very overpriced, but still tasty.

Overpriced like all criminal gas stations on the highway

Large parking lot, good lighting

Clean toilet, hot coffee, nice staff, even at 3:30 a.m

Everything is fine, but when you arrive at 3:00 PM after work and there is nothing to eat because the restaurant is no longer open, it's sad.

Usual Serways "1€ voucher" rest stop with clean toilets and expensive prices in store....

Nice big new parking lot. Shower not working.

Normal gas station and rest stop with restaurants. Lots of parking spaces, everything barrier-free.

Big place for parking,everything is sooo clear!!!

Friendly service, food was good, price as usual in rest stops

18.10. 2024. New parking. 20:00 there are places available. The staff are great. The young guy is very polite. Shower 3 euros, took one coupon, total 2. Toilet and shower at the highest level. It's light in the parking lot.

Only stopped for a coffee, clean and tidy location
