Just in case any of you lovebirds out there are searching for a romantic getaway, may I make a suggestion? Fly to Frankfurt, take a train to the city of Mainz, rent a couple bikes, and head north along the Rhine (this way you will be heading downhill and will have the wind at your back). You dont have to be as intense as I have been... two bags will suffice: one for a few changes of cloths and the other for your picnic and several bottles of wine. You needent camp as hostels are generously distributed along the route. There are also several castles that have been converted to fancy hotels if you want to splurge for a special occasion.
Two weeks would easily be enough to ride all the way to Koln without overexerting yourself (it is roughly 140 km, which would mean you only have to travel 10 km a day. To give you an idea, I travel at an average of 20 km/hour fully loaded). And if you get tired of the back of a bike, there are river cruises as an alternate form of transportation. Visit some castles, taste some wines, explore cathedrals and villages, take plenty or rests in the countryside. You will not be dissapointed. Just thinking about it is so romantic... excuse me while I go and seduce myself.
