2 Weeks based in Heidelerg with two boys

We will be staying with friends and I'm looking for suggestions on activities with my wife and sons age 9 and 11. I've bought a couple guidebooks I'll study in flight. I'm sure I can easily fill the trip with fun stuff but local ideas would be great.

I'm renting a car and can spend nights in hotels so longer trips are fine.

A couple specific questions:

The kids requested legoland and were going there with another family. Would you suggest one or two days?

I was chatting with someone who said the kids would love the salt mines. Any ideas what they were talking about?

My initial thoughts

A couple days local
A couple days legoland
A couple days Rhine
A couple days Black forest
I must visit Baden Baden or my sons Viola teacher won't forgive me.
A day Rothenburg
A few days away through Switzerland and looping back through Salzberg.
