Landkreis Saalfeld-Rudolstadt, Administrative district in Thuringia, Germany
The district spans over 1,008 square kilometers across diverse landscapes, from the Saale river valley to elevated regions reaching 827 meters near Piesau.
The current district formed through the merger of Landratsamt Saalfeld and Landkreis Rudolstadt during the administrative reforms of 1994, combining centuries of regional governance.
The district maintains strong connections to Thuringian traditions through regular festivals, folk music performances, and local craft exhibitions in its 26 municipalities.
Visitors can access the district through extensive public transportation networks connecting major towns like Saalfeld, Rudolstadt, and Bad Blankenburg with surrounding regions.
The district contains the Saalfeld Fairy Grottoes, featuring naturally formed mineral deposits in former mining tunnels dating back to the 16th century.
