Possibly you could think about the local "laendertickets" available for
most German states (and many of them for a wider area)
You've already mentioned "Schoenes wochenende" (Happy weekend)
Those cards are for local trains only (IC,EC,ICE excluded) but included
is generally much of local transport as tram,busses,underground.
