Stop Between Munich and Rovinj

We will be traveling from Munich to Rovinj in mid June via car. We would like to travel via the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. Where would be the best/most convenient stop for an overnight stay along this route?

We've never travelled in Europe without pre-booked accommodations, but would this be a good time to just drive and find a place to stay overnight when we get tired or do the accommodations along this route tend to get booked up in June? I'm a planner, so not having our accommodations booked scares me a bit, but I also like the idea of not having to stop at certain point if we feel up to continuing.

We've already explored a lot of the Slovenian Alps, so we would prefer our night to be in Austria. We know this will mean a longer drive the next day to Rovinj, but we will be relaxing there for a week, so we are okay with a longer day to get there!

This Spring on our way to Piran from our home in the Oberpfalz we overnighted in Villach. From Villach we stuck to secondary roads and traveled through mostly Italy. On our return we stayed in Kuchl. We did not drive the Großglockner-Hochalpenstraße. You might consider Lienz, the sunniest city in Austria. I would make reservations.
