German term
Freizeithaltestelle
German to English
Other
Transport / Transportation / Shipping
Swiss High German: Swiss Public Transport
What we need here is UK English.
My guess is that a Freizeithaltestelle is what a Bedarfshaltestelle is in Germany. -> Leisure time request stop?
No context avlble.
Any ideas are much appreciated.

American references here; GB doesn't do Freizeithaltestellen, as far as I know. Sorry to use the 's' word again. However, I suspect that railcard is the better term for your previous Q anyway.

Freizeithaltestelle-->touristische Ziele
"Als einzige Region Deutschlands wurde der Linienverkehr abends und am Wochenende komplett auf die Bedürfnisse ihrer Kunden umgestellt. Insgesamt 15 öffentliche wie private Busunternehmen werden vom Landkreis koordiniert und fahren Samstag, Sonntag und an Feiertagen ca. 400 reguläre Haltestellen wie reine Freizeithaltestellen an. Darunter befinden sich die genannten touristischen Ziele, das Thermalbad Bad Rippoldsau sowie Ausgangs- und Endpunkte von Wander- oder Skilanglauftouren."

Discussion
If at all possible, it sounds rather like "ask the client for clarification" time to me. Given lack of context and very few search results on web.
When I tried Google Image, I got mostly pictures of trains. Big modern ones. This surprises me because "Freizeit" suggested a station on one of the little steam locomotive railways for trippers that exist in the UK (there's one called the "Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Line" near where I live. Some of them are *run* by people in their leisure time too).
I suppose there's no mention of *where* this Freizeithaltestelle is? If there were, perhaps you could look it up (e. g. on Google Maps) and see if there's a railway station there?

No context available - do you know what kind of vehicle uses this kind of stop (coaches, cars, lorries?) Can we definitely rule out "railway station for pleasure trips"?
Speaking as a UK English speaker, we generally call those places where motorists on long trips stop off for petrol, food etc. "a motorway services", although "rest stop" is quite acceptable and probably safer.
I suppose you've looked at these
