A special feature of the town is the steepest street in the entire Harz Mountains, which runs through the center. High above the town on the Glockenberg stands the yellow bell tower, the landmark of Sankt Andreasberg. The history of Sankt Andreasberg is closely linked to mining, which necessitated a complex water system, the Upper Harz water management system. This pre-industrial system for diverting and storing water was created between the 16th and 19th centuries. It was listed as a cultural monument in 1978 and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010, highlighting its historical and technical significance. Today, the facilities primarily serve to maintain the historical cultural landscape and are a testimony to the close connection between man and nature in the region.

The Sankt Andreasberg National Park House has exhibitions on the flora and fauna of the Harz Mountains. The Bat Kingdom, an interactive exhibition about bats, is particularly fascinating.
