We drove this route starting from Plön last year in our summer holiday and I also know the final piece from Lütjenburg to Laboe, and I can tell that 1 h 12mins is an quite optimistic estimate for this route. You should calculate with 1h 30mins which would be more realistic. On many parts of the route speed is limited to 70 km/h (ca 45 mph) and there are even some villages you have to pass, there is a limit of 50 km/h (ca 30mph), and some traffic lights where you may have to stop. You should also consider that there are very likely some agricultural vehicles on the road in mid of September, which may be difficult to overtake, espacially on the last part of the trip (Lütjenburg-Laboe).

Cheers,
Michael
