Of Elberadweg you can of course also up. But, if you have miles left, the best point is to take a look at the fortress. Imposing - summer and winter.

In the Elbe loop near Königstein you have a great view of the Königstein Fortress on the opposite bank of the Elbe. Not far away you can take the F6 Königstein - Halbestadt ferry.
