“Very good place. A petrol station where many cars fuel before entering the highway. perfectly to reach with S-Bahn. The first driver I asked took me with him (to Hannover / A2) =)”

“We just asked people and after about 3 minutes we got a lift to Dresden. Chances are pretty good if you ask people at the gas station.”

“August, 2012: there is a construction on the Highway A115, thats why u cant access the petrol station from the highway going south. If u wanna go south, or west, try the petrol station on the A10, called Michendorf.”
