Agree with this - my tip would be (in Germany at least) would be to get off the autobahn if you can. Some of the roads through towns and villages are gorgeous.
If you don’t have it already, use Waze as that will scoot you around roadworks and traffic - scenic routes will need a bit more...

My youngest came to his first game yesterday. We were just to the left of the Everton fans and he was outraged at Pickford being Pickford, but enjoyed the new additions to his vocabulary (look forward to seeing how that goes down at school tomorrow). He went absolutely mad when Dunk scored! Even...

Another vote for the Reef /Fanning combo.
Comfortable, not too pricey (shop around) with a bottle opener in the sole. What more could you want.....?
They also go to 'clown-size' as well!
