Rastplatz Bucheneck (A6 Cruising)

Rastplatz Bucheneck is a rest area on the A6 motorway, listed in German gay cruising guides as a meeting spot for men. The listing places it between the Walldorf interchange and the Wiesloch/Rauenberg exit, which is closer to Heidelberg than to Mannheim. Activity reportedly happens mainly in the evenings and at weekends, more in summer. It is an unsupervised public car park, so activity varies and may have stopped. Check recent reports before making a detour, be discreet around truckers and families, respect consent, and keep your car locked and valuables out of sight.
