I honestly can't tell, since I do not see it from a car driver's perspective: I don't have a car. The regions the Alleenstrasse leads through for the most do not interest me. but in the first, northern part in Mecklenburg I can imagine to see plenty of nice "alleen", since they are typical for that Bundesland land and it'S landscape. But some years ago, many trees also got cut, for these kind of roads are also dangerous and caused a lot of people getting killed in traffic, during overtaking, or while overspeeding. I would have preferred to let the very old trees live and the landscape look beautiful, and get the race driver removed from traffic through natural selection before they had an opportunity not kill themselves, but others.

It's a question of taste, and what one is looking for. I tend to prefer Schleswig-Holstein (most northern Germany), and Bavaria (most southern Germany). The Teutoburger Wald north of here where I live also has some nice places, and despite some wider forests also a hilly terrain which both makes it attractive, but it is relatively small in size, and I would not recommend neither Osnabrück nor Münster for tourist stays, so maybe it is not for you anyway.

I really would consider to give Lübeck a day, and maybe Hamburg, Munich. Berlin is overestimated, you must not have seen it, really - only if you are into art museums and cultural life , of which it has a lot to offer, berlin also hosts two of the leading orchestras in Germany and Europe, both of world format - sometimes more, sometimes less.

Bavaria is the other place where to stay I always enjoyed. What I had seen in the middle between these two most northern and most southern federal states of Germany, did not really attract me, but I possibly have not seen much. Indeed, I haven'T, and tend to prefer places that I am familiar with and that I like. I am no more attracted that much by what is new.
