A KONUS card won't do you much good if you are driving through the Black Forest. If you stay over night in a smaller town (specifically NOT Freiburg im Breisgau or Baden Baden) in the area covered by the KONUS in Baden-Württemberg you can have free unlimited use of second class on buses and regional trains. Anything above RE is not included.

It is an exceptionally good deal if you park the car and base yourself in a convenient place.

See http://www.blackforest-tourism.com/info/KONUS Read that page then click through for the list of localities and a map.
