There is plenty!  I spent two weeks there this past spring.  Best thing to 
do is to buy a tour guide and see what interests you(Foders and Michelin 
are good).  Since you are
coming up through Switzerland though, a drive through the Black Forest 
would be enjoyable.  Visiting any of the nice towns on the Bodensee is cool 
too(Bodensee is what the Germans call Lake Constance).  As David mentioned, 
there is Neuschwanstein and other castles in Bavaria.  If you like 
technical museums, then Sinnsheim is an absolute MUST.  It is north of 
Baden Baden on the A5.  Give this museum a good 3 hours worth of your 
time.  Tons of cars, trains, planes and WWII German armor.  If you want to 
eat as Germans do, stop and have lunches at any of the "Imbiss" you 
pass.  A little farther north and you can enjoy the Mosel Valley(well known 
for it's wines) and the Rhine- beautiful country.
