What should you factor in when planning your route?

You answered correctly. When planning your route, it is important to consider both the required driving and rest periods, as these are mandated by law to ensure road safety and compliance with regulations, especially for professional drivers. Additionally, you must pay attention to the traffic rules of other countries if your journey crosses borders, since laws and regulations may differ. This helps you avoid fines or legal issues in foreign countries. The prohibition on driving on public holidays of individual federal states is not always relevant for every journey, unless you are driving a vehicle affected by such bans, so it is not a general requirement when planning a route. By keeping these points in mind, you'll ensure your trip is safe and within legal regulations, especially on international routes.
