Sankt Andreasberg, Mountain resort town in Harz Mountains, Germany

Sankt Andreasberg stands at 610 meters above sea level, featuring steep streets, traditional architecture, and surrounding forests in Lower Saxony.

The discovery of silver deposits in the 16th century transformed this mountain settlement into a mining center, leading to its incorporation as a town in 1535.

The Martini Church, constructed in 1811 after a fire destroyed its predecessor, serves as a central gathering point for religious services and musical performances.

Multiple hiking trails connect to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Upper Harz Water Management System, with clear signage indicating difficulty levels and distances.

The local observatory, positioned at the highest elevation in Northern Germany, enables visitors to observe the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxy on clear nights.
