The entrance is also from Bad Mühllacken, after the road you change to the west bank with a wide path, further up there is another bridge to the east side, at Nyphenhain the climb begins, initially "milder", after the bend it becomes "heavy" (feels like around 20%) on gravel, then on the asphalt it becomes a little milder again.
