I was down that way last week. Some great suggestions in here.
I stayed at Reutte (near Fussen) then headed over the Fernpass towards Innsbruck, the Brenner pass and down to Lake Garda. The Fernpass seems a popular road with local bikers with good reason. I'd been told the Timmelsjoch was still closed at that time or that would have been the route I'd have taken. BTW, Riva del Garda has changed a bit since I was last there. It's always been a tourist draw but this time it was overrun with bus trips. I headed north on the Autostrada from there, turning off north of Bozen/Bolzano towards Ortisei, the Pordoi Pass and Arabba on the way to Cortina d'Ampezzo. I then headed towards Lienz and over the Grossglockner road and on to Berchtesgaden/Konigsee.
The Black Forest and the Schwarzwaldhochstrasse is definitely worth a look too.
