Castle Trail in the Berstrasse Region?

Has anyone done the Castle Trail or the Bicycle Route? If so, how was it? Any comments or suggestions?

My husband and I are taking our 3 kids (ages 15, 13, and 7) to Europe this summer and we have about a week in Germany. We plan to limit our stay to Bavaria. We're working our way from Paris to Munich then down to Rome. While in Germany, some things our kids wanted to do are:
- cruise the Rhine
- tour a medieval castle or two
- ride a gondola up in the mountains
- go down a luge (or similar)
- Munich: see Bayern Munich's stadium, see Dachau concentration camp, possibly tour BMW(?)
What are your favorites? Any recommendations?
