Serways, Highway restaurant and cafe in Rosdorf, Germany
Serways is a highway rest stop with a restaurant and café on the A7 near Rosdorf, in the German state of Lower Saxony. It offers hot meals, snacks, and drinks in a large indoor dining area designed to handle a steady flow of travelers throughout the day.
Tank & Rast, the company behind Serways, began building a network of rest stops along German highways in the 1950s as car travel grew rapidly after World War II. The Serways brand was later introduced to give a unified identity to the restaurant and café services within that network.
Serways sits along the A7, one of Germany's main north-south highway routes, making it a regular stop for long-distance drivers crossing the country. Many travelers pass through here on routes between Hamburg and Munich, giving the place a transient but steady rhythm.
The rest stop is directly accessible from the A7 and has parking for cars, buses, and trucks. The indoor areas are on one level and wheelchair accessible, so most visitors can move around without difficulty.
The A7, on which this stop sits, is one of the longest highways in Europe, running from the Danish border all the way to Austria. That means the travelers stopping here on any given day may have come from a dozen different countries.
