Planning an epic and low-budget European car holiday at the moment. It looks like I'm going to be cris-crossing Germany a couple of times.
One quick question: does anyone know if you're still allowed to park up and sleep overnight at the Raststätten/autobahn service and rest areas? Or is it like the UK where you have to pay if you're going to be there more than 2 hours and you're not allowed to sleep there?
I'll be in a car, not a campervan etc, if that makes any difference...
I remember doing it about a decade ago but don't know whether I was lucky or whether that was how it was supposed to be. And I assume it's not the same on the French autoroutes, is it?
