Hi folks!

We're three students who'll be travelling through Germany by car later this week. Arriving to Travemünde in the middle of the night (01) by ferry. We'd very much like to just catch just a few hours of rest somewhere before continuing on towards the Netherlands so we aren't driving whilst sleepy.

What we've found online regarding resting in the wild is confusing at best. We'll have sleeping bags and tents although it is possible (if rather uncomfortable) to sleep in the car.

Any tips or advice would be much appreciated, thanks :)

(keep in mind we're trying to travel cheaply)

Update>

We found someone via 1nitetent.net who was willing to host us for the night. Thanks so much for the help everyone :)

I have done wild camping with friends on bike trips before. It's technically not allowed but most people don't care as long as you're not in a public place. We'd always pick our spots in the tree line between fields and set up our tent there. That was pretty far off in the countryside though. Be aware though that wild boars are very common in Germany and can be dangerous. Being woken by one screeching right next to your tent can be quite the experience. I believe that legally, the worst thing that can happen if you're caught will be a fine. Most likely you'll just be asked to leave though.
