Tank & Rast Raststätte Hünxe Ost, Highway restaurant in Hünxe, Germany.
Tank & Rast Raststätte Hünxe Ost is a roadside restaurant on the A3 motorway near Hünxe, open around the clock and serving both German and international food. A Brotzeit bakery counter sits alongside the main dining area, offering fresh rolls and snacks for travelers in a hurry.
The service stop grew out of the expansion of Germany's motorway network in the second half of the 20th century, when Tank & Rast developed a chain of roadside stops across the country. Over time it became a regular pause point for both commuters and long-distance drivers passing through this stretch of the A3.
The stop offers food that is familiar to German road travelers: fresh rolls, Bockwurst, and warm meals served quickly at any hour. These kinds of stops are a regular part of long-distance driving in Germany, and many people treat them as a routine part of the journey.
The stop sits directly off the A3 and is easy to reach for cars, coaches, and trucks, with parking areas for all vehicle types. Those planning a longer break will find restrooms and washing facilities to freshen up before continuing the journey.
The stop combines a Shell fuel station with EnBW electric charging points, so drivers of both conventional and electric vehicles can handle everything in one go. This makes it one of the more complete stops on this section of the A3.
