Rest area XXL: Popular stop for Danish travelers before Flensburg
The XXL truck stop in Handewitt, right on the Danish border and just six kilometers from Flensburg, has developed into a popular destination for travelers in recent years. There is a lot of activity here, especially during the holiday season when the Germans are on their way to Denmark. That reports ZDF in a current report. The tempting 20 cents per liter cheaper fuel than in Denmark attracts many drivers.
Heiko Rasmussen, who has been working at the truck stop for 19 years, has the gas station, shop and car wash firmly under control. If queues get longer or traffic jams arise, he is available to take over crisis management. In the middle of the busy atmosphere is 24-year-old Marie Thimm, who, as the warehouse manager, ensures order in the large supermarket. Your responsibilities influence sales, which peak especially during the holiday season.
An Eldorado for bargain hunters
What many people don't know: The Autohof supermarket offers more than just fuel.
