The Mecca of highway heavens, the paragon of pit stops is found in the heart of Deutschland, just outside Munich. At the Autohof Strohofer, truckers and drivers can refuel body and truck in the most unexpected of facilities: a co-ed, clothing-optional sauna and spa. Steam rooms and Romanian and Finnish "damp areas" allow visitors to be soothed by the scent of eucalyptus, while the sedentary lifestyle of trucking is abated with a quick dip in the pool to swim away the day's driving kinks.
The biggest truck stop in Europe has been pampering truckers across the continent with more than a spa; the rolling fields of the Life Park were created for strolling and unwinding. For the hungry, sausages and schnitzels abound in Toni's Restaurant, and there's even drive-thru dining available. Night owls can whoop it up at Treffpunkt, a music hall featuring live cover bands on weekends, and then sleep it off at the Strohofer Hotel. And of course, trucks can get in top gear at the facility
