Deutsch Begriff oder Satz: Relaisstation
This is the title of one of the levels for a video game set in the wild west. I know that it can be translated as a relay station, but that just doesn't sound right to me. What is the term used for the place where cowboys could make a brief stopover, feed their horses and maybe gather any provisions? Is anybody out there a western buff?

Erklärung:
Yes, relay station is right. Those were the stations where the Poney Express parked their horses and their riders could switch over to a fresh horse.
