I am currently stationed in Germany and have been here for the past 5 years. My wife is the type that never sits still, so I have been all over the place here. Switzerland by far is the most beautiful.... And most expensive, and most restrictive on the driving experience.

My advice would be this. To make this the best his/hers experience, take the ferry over and head directly to Nurburgring. Spend a day at/on the track. Next morning, head to a little secret called "Bingen am Rhein." There you can take a day cruise on the Rhein to St Goar (take 1-way) and train it back. It is cheap for what you get and you can sit back drinking beer and wine and watch castles on the Rhein. Then over to Hockenheim if the track is open. Next Rothenberg ob der Tauber. Spent the night there and do the night watchman tour - it is awesome. Then Garmisch/Austria for some good mountain roads. Trust me, I have been entertaining different family members coming over for vacation, definitely fan favorites.

The wife and I spent a few weeks traveling through Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France many years back. We did the Rhein / Castle cruise also, highly recommend it, VERY relaxing and beautiful.
