www.bahn.de is probably the best getting around tip anyone can give you.

The fairytail castle schloss neu schwanstein is about 5 hours train
from there, it's a big tourist attraction and really does look pretty
awesome from the outside.  Lots of good hiking/bush walking (what the
hell is this word in en_UK or en_US?) Every city in that area has city
forests that are quite nice for a walk in. Signage is limited to
non-existant though. The black forest is worth a good look, very
pretty. Bikes are a great way to get round if you are into that kind
of thing. Lake Constance (bodensee) is 4 hours train south of there
and is a really wonderful lake to swim in, and walk around.  For a
real taste of germany try a doener kebab (and baklava). Dirt cheap and
fantastically tasty, unlike all the other food in southern germany. 
For local dishes try Spätzle and Maultaschen.
