Fair enough, there's another planning factor; money.
My short reply about taking a lowland route points toward "skirting" the Black sea as a general route - this could avoid the Alps, as would taking the Mediterranean coast.
I don't know that area - Bulgaria/Romania basically - but any good map should show a way through.
The weather ain't helping that's for sure; there is more snow forecast for central Europe right now with the cold front to the East and a warmer one further West promising a lot of moisture/precipitation/snow. That's the biggie factor for me, not withstanding lack of cash.
ps On second thoughts, looking at google maps in satellite format, I would aim to head toward a series of capital cities which appear to be located in lowland areas and in valleys that lie between adjacent high ground.
As a rule, these routes are good major roads linking the capitals which should, therefore, be maintained in bad weather.
Viz, the capitals of Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Slovakia and Austria - thereafter, west into Germany.
