St. Andreasberg is the highest mountain town in resinwhich is popular with hikers in summer due to its species-rich mountain meadows and its mostly snow-sure location with winter sports enthusiasts in the cold season. Politically, it has been part of the city since 2011 Braunlage.
background
Sankt Andreasberg is an ideal starting point to explore the nature of the Harz National Park to explore. The mining town with centuries-old mining tradition from which the mines Samson and Red bear Still preserved today as show mines, it is a summer destination for hikers, mountain bikers and, as a climatic health resort, also a destination for holidaymakers looking for relaxation. In winter, the uniquely high location - Sankt Andreasberg is the highest of the mountain towns in the Harz - (mostly) an extended season with guaranteed snow for cross-country skiing on the many trails in and around the village, for alpine skiing on Matthias-Schmidt-Berg and for long-term tobogganing fun. And in summer, too, the chair lift runs on the ski slope to make it easier for toboggan fans to descend on the summer toboggan run.
history
The earliest roots of Sankt Andreasberg can be traced back to 1521, when the first mountain freedom was issued. From then on, silver mining was practiced in Sankt Andreasberg for almost four centuries. The first pits were the pit St. Andrew at the market square and the pit St. Andrew's Cross at the Beerberg. With the arrival of miners from the Mansfeld country, by the granting of city rights to the place and the growth of the pits to over 100, the place continued to grow steadily. At its peak, the place had 2,500 inhabitants.
Even if the silver yield in Sankt Andreasberg was not particularly large compared to the yields of neighboring mining towns, mining was able to last for a long time. It wasn't until 1920 that the mine closed Samson the last mining pit in the place.
As a relic of the Erzgebirge and Bohemian mining tradition that came with the miners in the village, a special Upper Harz dialect has been preserved among a few older residents in the village, which is strongly influenced by the Ore Mountains and was only spoken in the Upper Harz mining towns.
getting there
By plane
The nearest international airport is Hanover Airport, about 120 km northwest.
By train
With regional transport to Herzberg am Harz, there via connections Goettingen, Nordhausen or Seesen. The closest long-distance train station is the Goettingen train station.
By bus
From Herzberg drives over Bad Lauterberg in the Harz Mountains the bus line 450 to St. Andreasberg. There are also connections via the Sonnenberg Braunlage (with a ring line) and with line 840 to Clausthal-Zellerfeld.
- 1 ZOB The transfer point for all bus lines that go to St. Andreasberg is the bus station at Glockenberg (name "St. Andreasberg Am Glockenberg" in the timetable information of the Verkehrsverbund Südniedersachsen).
In the street
The next freeway is that A7. If you come from the north, you leave it in Seesen and drive on the mostly 4-lane federal highway 243 bis Herzberg am Harz. Coming from the south, leave the A7 at Göttingen and follow the B27 Gieboldehausen to Herzberg.
The shortest route from Herzberg to St. Andreasberg leads via the L521 through the idyllic Siebertal, at the end of which the road climbs sharply over a serpentine route. Alternatively, you can drive to Bad Lauterberg and via the L520 via Silberhütte to St. Andreasberg. In winter road conditions, this is the better drivable route.
In winter, the place can sometimes only be reached with snow chains, for this you should pay attention to the possible warnings about the weather and traffic situation in the Harz in the road traffic reports of the regional radio stations or on the Internet.
On foot
The Boulder bypass of Harz Hexenstieg leads through Sankt Andreasberg, furthermore the Harz-Eichsfeld-Thuringian Forest Path of Hörschel to Thale.
mobility
Due to its small size, the town center can be explored on foot; it is only practical to go to Matthias-Schmidt-Berg and the Silberhütte district if you are traveling by car or by bike. In St. Andreasberg, however, the name Bergstadt says it all - even shorter routes often have steeper gradients due to the location.
For people who use a rollator or wheelchair, the often steep nature of the footpaths in built-up areas can be problematic because of the upward force required and the downward braking power required. In snowy winters, you have to expect poorly cleared footpaths. Many footpaths are also narrow, so that you have to switch to the street from time to time. An accompanying person may therefore be necessary to provide support.

If you want to go on longer tours, it's best to get one Winter sports card to. These are in the article Winter sports in the Harz listed. The note "classic style" means that these are stretches on which only diagonal stride is possible ("classic style"). Skating is not possible on these routes.
Near the place:
- 7 Entry to the Libra trail (classic style) ' - The 6 km long, easier circuit is located southwest of the Rehberg between 615 and 707 m high in a wooded area. The direction of travel of the circuit is given. The entry point is the parking lot on the road to Sonnenberg (above St. Andreasberg; about 1.5 km on foot from the town center, which can usually be covered on skis parallel to the road). The circuit is easy to master even for beginners, as the route usually slopes slightly in the direction of travel, but the descents require little or no braking. Only at the end of the route is there a bit of stamina required on an ascent. Route in OpenStreetMap.
- 8 Oderberg trail(classic style) - The 6 km long, difficult circular trail can be found east of the village at an altitude of 560 - 680 m. The entrance to the cross-country ski trail is on Braunlager Straße.

Ski trips in the area:
- Cross-country trails & ski excursions from Sonnenberg - The Sonnenberg settlement is about 5 km north of Sankt Andreasberg in the middle of the Harz National Park.

Route in OpenStreetMap. Arrival: From St. Andreasberg, take the bus in the direction of Clausthal-Zellerfeld or take a car to the Stieglitzecke on Harzhochstraße. There is a parking lot here.
- Ski & hiking tour on the Chunks: If you want, you can of course go on a cross-country hiking tour on the Brocken. At the latest on the steep ascent to the Brockenbahn up to the new Goetheweg, the question then arises: Carry your skis up or discreetly bury them in the snow in the area of the path ... Despite this small handicap, this combination tour is worthwhile when the winter weather is nice - if you haven't done the Brocken in winter knows. The tour is only for sports fans, because the Distance just about 21 km amounts to. However, due to the length of the route, it is advisable to take the bus to the Hotel Sonnenberg or Oderteich at least in the morning. Even with this, the tour is only something for the more sporty because of the approximately 35 km (the exact length of the route was not counted in January 2011).

The small house at the bottom of the valley is padded with bales of straw, but the very last outlet of the track ends at an open stream inlet, so that fast-paced little tobogganers should be made aware of the possible danger. The toboggan run is Floodlit daily from 5pm to 10pm.
