St Andreasberg

From Bad Lauterberg there is a road that turns northeast, following the Oder and running past the Oder Dam. Turning left at the Oderhaus forester's house, the visitor will see St Andreasberg, one of the seven mining towns of the Oberharz. In the upper town is the parish church (1798). To the north of the town extends the beautiful Kurpark, on the west side of which is the Samson silver mine (843 m/2,766ft deep; conducted visits).
