If you want to avoid the road and the detour along the Biela, you can take this alternative up from the valley to Leupoldishain. Asphalted throughout of medium quality (rough to rougher), this "forest road" (closed to traffic) climbs slightly up to Leupoldishain.
The little extra highlight on this section is definitely the almost tree-free view of Königstein Fortress.
