The classic Alps routes are great, but I'm glad they're recommending hidden gems like the Ardennes, the Vosges, or the Black Forest's B500. Light traffic and good road surfaces mean even more fun spreading out a map and picking where to stay. Slovenia's Vršič Pass, apparently a string of cobblestone hairpins - deciding where to ride next is going to be a nice kind of agonizing.
