Tank & Rast Raststätte Vellern in Beckum

Not a bad place // Geen slechte plek in Duitsland

The Alte Mühle service area in Vellern pleasantly surprised me. The ambience is not particularly appealing, which is why I deducted a star, but you should not forget that it is “just” a rest area. Particularly noteworthy is the lady at the counter, who is super friendly, relaxed and warm - she is reminiscent of a real mother who lovingly takes care of everything. The food is quite expensive, but it is prepared with a lot of love and tastes really excellent. Many other rest stops could learn a lesson here! The toilets are also commendable: very clean, although with a fee of 1 euro. Overall, a rest stop that I would happily recommend!

Stretch your legs for a moment after the traffic jam

A really nice cozy old-fashioned place! Super friendly service, food (I had crispy schnitzel) is delicious, you immediately feel like you are traveling back in time, but in the best possible way. It's a shame that there aren't too many people here (at least today). Hopefully we can come by often! The charging stations next door also work perfectly.

Moderate prices like on the highway

Unloading firewood storage, long pile is not possible

A small rest area, I feel like I'm sleeping in Sleeping Beauty. Super friendly staff, toilet really clean, no mass processing. Here you can relax and take a break

Unfortunately the service there is alone and completely overwhelmed with 4 meals at the same time. The currywurst was also very borderline. The fries were ok

Clear and good stopping/parking options

I don't understand it. Why can't people get it in the middle of nowhere and there's no card payment? The Leite don't feel like having the toilet or drinking anything.

I dont know about restqurant but there was no toilet. And the area was not clean.

A shower costs PLN 3, watch out for the gypsy, he gives the change in leva! Instead of euros

Quiet parking, but I don’t know if they have a toilet

Very friendly service and the food was very tasty

Neat and clean with nice and courteous service - gladly again!

Just like 30 years ago. No improvement. That looked sad. Not worth keeping.

My personal opinion; There truly are more beautiful places in the world. The lady who is responsible for the cleanliness of the ceramics department did her job perfectly and was also very friendly!

Nice service, relatively moderate prices. Gladly again.

Very friendly and nice team. The food (champion schnitzel, fries) was also very tasty, which I can't say about other rest stops. The prices of all rest stops cannot be compared with restaurant prices, here I found the price to be okay as a rest stop price.

Before discussing the taste of the food, the quality of the food is just terrible. It's the worst restaurant I've ever been to at a highway rest stop. The food prices are too high for the quality of the food. It's not even worth giving one star.

Narrow offering and no filling station for combustion engines

Fries schnitzel. Drinks, €17.80 I snagged the small bag of mayonnaise, similar in size to the mustard, for €1. Food very simple, taste moderate

Shop, bistro, restaurant area and sanitary facilities very clean. Staff is helpful, competent and very friendly

Stopped by chance on the way to Bochum, nice service (double by Katy Karrenbauer, but only insiders understand it), good selection of dishes

Good refueling, a lot of selection of goods.

Only suitable for going to the toilet

Not bad for a motorway service station.

Small rest area, clean but nothing special

Like every other rest area in the country, overpriced.

The shower hasn't worked for 2 weeks!

Quite large, safe, lighted parking lot with a toilet in decent condition.

There is no toilet, you can get water

Unfortunately very small, expensive portions.

Parking spaces directly in front of the entrance

Desolate in the evening...everything is closed

Avoid this parking lot!!! 17.01.2024 stopped for 9 hours. They blew gas, cut the awning and stole the goods.

It was normal from Friday to Monday without incident, if the toilet at the forester would have been five stars, there were a lot of free places on Saturday, shops are 5 km away, walking along the road for pedestrians is classy

Clean. Friendly. Travel-related offer. Significantly better than the “connected” rest stops.

I can't say much, I just took a quick break here

Cold tap water like everywhere in the West

Good rest stop for a quick break. Very important: clean toilets. It's all ok.

Simple, but friendly and quiet.

We only stopped here briefly to use the toilet.

Unbelievable but true: there is a monument to German architecture here! The first (? 1938) bridge with a prestressed concrete ceiling - that's how I understood it. The monument stands somewhat inconspicuously in the middle of the site on the edge. Of course it's covered in graffiti, but it's accessible. Definitely interesting for architects!

Parking for trucks maximum 50 places, WC 1euro

Toilet 0.50€ 24/7, shower 3€ clean and spacious, there were a lot of free spaces in the parking lot on Saturday

I just spent the night there, parking lot

I parked the truck in the morning at 7 o'clock, enough free places, I don't know how it is in the evening. It's not the fault of the administration, it's also the drivers without home education, it smells bad to urinate in the parking lot, but probably if there was a toilet for the parking lot, the situation would be different. About the restaurant only fast-food type food, 1€ access to the toilet (very clean) 5€ for the shower.

I was there today and I have to say I won't go there again. The seller wasn't very nice, even unpleasant, and the food was dry, but he didn't skimp on the salt because you could eat it with salt. I don't recommend avoiding this place. Plus the prices are sky high.

For me it was good here, but I only used the toilets. Everything clean👍

A large parking lot, a restaurant, a shop and a gas station are nearby

Now a slightly nicer place thanks to stickers from VfL Bochum 💙🤍

A special rest area that is not automatically run in the run-of-the-mill sense, but rather places emphasis on personal contact, which has become very rare these days... Keep it up!!!

Very well-kept, small rest area.

There was a theft of goods from a truck at night. There are no video cameras in this parking lot, which is what robbers take advantage of. It is better to stop overnight with commercial vehicles in guarded parking lots!

Not everything is clean and nice

Nothing extraordinary, parking lot like many others

Für ein kleines Päuschen in Ordnung

Wir haben dort hauptsächlich einen Ladestopp für unser E-Auto eingelegt. Alles lief unproblematisch, ein zügiges Laden war möglich.

Good level of service and value for the money

Dobre miejsce. Spokojne i wszystko jest. Przydałoby się więcej patroli policji bo za dużo kręci się tam złodziei paliwa.

Хороший паркинг есть чистый туалет 0.50eвро центов

Хороший паркинг, можно набрать воды Чистый туалет 0,50€

Super Service, sehr nettes Personal und sehr sauber. Wir kommen dort gern immer vorbei.

Редко найти такой паркинг. Тишина и спокойствие. Все убрано, чистенько. Т- 50с Душ 3 евро

При в'їзді бажано обрізати кущі. Якщо справа стоять фури пролематично проїхати.

Leider kein sauberer Rastplatz. Er lädt nicht zum rasten ein auch für ein kurzes Gassi mit Hunden eine Zumutung. Allerdings ist der Kaffee im Rasthaus lecker und die Bedienung sehr nett.

Паркінг для грузових авто - середнього розміру , добре освітлюваний . Туалет 0,5 євро , душ 3,0 євро - вода гаряча , всюди чисто . За 0,7 - 0,8 км , маленька продуктова крамничка . Все супер . Дякую .

Leider gibt es die leckeren Frikadellen nicht mehr. Toiletten sehr sauber. Ansonsten begrenzte Auswahl an Fastfood

Normale kleine Raststätte, aber eine sehr freundliche Bedienung.

Jeden z gorszych parkingów. Toaleta za gotówkę. Jedzenie mrożone .

Der abendliche Stop hat gut getan und man hat sich stärken können.Tolle Mitarbeiterin,die uns sehr freundlich und charmant bedient hat.Toll;)

Nur kurze WC-Pause auf sehr sauberen Toiletten, freundliches Personal

Netter Rastplatz. Freundliche Bedienung, nerviger Toilettenmann.

Schöne kleine Raststätte mit einem netten Restaurant.

Por un restaurante en autovia no es mal. Del gente son amable.

Jede raststätte kann sich was davon annehmen. Toilette morgens um 3 pikobello sauber u parkordnung für lkw weg von der Fahrbahn

Sehr gepflegte Raststätte ohne Tankstelle bzw. nur mit E-Ladesäulen. Großer Parkplatz und eher überschaubarer Innenbereich mit allen Basics an Snacks, Souvenirs, Kalt-Getränken und Kaffeespezialitäten. Netter, sonniger Außenbereich. Toilettennutzung nur in Barzahlung, sehr sauber! Sehr freundliches Servicepersonal.

Lustige nette Mitarbeiter, Toiletten sehr sehr sauber

Sehr sauber, Behinderten WC sehr groß und viele Bewegungsfreiheit für den Rollstuhl ♿️ plus Begleitperson die Helfen muss... 👍

Auf dem Weg von Köln nach Brandenburg wurde mir das Restaurante als Geheimtipp empfohlen. Also haben wir dort gehalten und mal geschaut und ich war sowohl positiv als auch negativ überrascht. Negativ, weil ich im Nachhinein nicht verstehen konnte wieso dort so wenig Menschen hingehen. Positiv weil es von der Speisekarte wirklich originell und spannend war. Die Aufmachung Ansicht glich ein wenig einem Kiosk/Tankstellenverkaufsraum, aber mit größerer Küche dahinter. Ich bestellte mir dort die Schnitzelbox Texas Style und meine Frau ein Jägerschnitzel. Und ich muss sagen das ich positiv Überrascht wurde wie lecker, Qualitativ hochwertig und frisch das Essen war. Gespeist haben wir auf der Außenterrasse in strahlendem Sonnenschein. Auch der Mitarbeiter war super freundlich und fragte zwischendurch ob alles Ok ist und ob wir zufrieden sind. Auch die Sanitären Anlagen waren sehr sauber und gepflegt. Wenn wir die Strecke wieder fahren, halten wir dort wieder, soviel ist sicher!

Etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Ladesäulen vorhanden.
