The Biela is a river in eastern Germany and northern Czech Republic, a left tributary of the Elbe. The source is near Ostrov u Tisé, in the Bohemian Switzerland, northwest of Děčín. After a few km it crosses into Saxony (and the Saxon Switzerland). The town Königstein is located at the confluence of the Biela with the Elbe.
