The way to Hamburg, recommended by a local Saabist parking next to me his 9-3 I was the same as in the navigation under "other" road. It has ~120km leading through green parts, nice small towns, 1-2 boat locks, sometimes on a dam. It contains a ferry through Elbe river, which is a nice "stop". It was quite full, but waiting time wasn't longer than 20 minutes. Price ~10€.

The whole way is rather slow, not empty, but not full. It's a 2 hours drive and if the weather plays with you, a very nice part of some trip. Somehow "peaceful".

I am not an eco-freak, but I really liked that lots of cows, sheeps and horses grazing around. Looks like the environment is fine. Something I am a bit missing at home. All the animals are somewhere closed in buildings :(

It took at the end some kilometers on the highway. After seeing a Saab logo i turned there and found a dealer - Saab Etehad. Some new 9-5s outside, as well as a convertible. A very friendly approach. And a positive look into the future in spite of what is going on now with Saab. I bought color for scratches and a soft-top roof cleaning + impregnation set for the upcoming roof service in some weeks.
However they told, that to re-color the soft-top as shown here [youtube video] is not recommended at all. That the faded parts will look again fresh after the impregnation. Hmmm... I will try than the impregnation only and let's see. Btw. I've got Tunap Cabrio 152 & 153, it looks like this (picture stolen from ebay) :
It has disapeared from the Tunap site, what is a bit worrying, but I will try this out. Found it in some forums as recommended.
