Apart from the travelling itself, you need to verify that the accommodation will allow minors to stay without an accompanying adult. Many hostels only allow adults, i.e. 18+.

Yes, he can travel on his own.
NO-various countries, esp also Germany, set specific rules (these often come from overcautiousness etc - also cases of child-trade etc. for minors going abroad. This is far too specific and detailed to all write down here-plus its books full of law etc.
From 16 it becomes a lot easier in many cases-but still not as free as from 18.
