Frühstück musste man dann in der Raststätte sich holen, da gab es dann ein Brötchen, ein Croissant, Butter, Nutella, Erdbeermarmelade, 2 Scheiben Käse, 2 Scheiben Schinken und 2 Scheiben Salami. Leider fehlen sonstige Beilagen wie Gurke Tomate etc. also eher ein Trucker Frühstück, was aber auch an sich gut geschmeckt hat. Lage an der Autobahn ist Praktisch und mit einer E-Ladesäule...
