Hochsauerlandkreis, Administrative district in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
The Hochsauerlandkreis district spans across 1,960 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, reaching elevations of 577 meters in the Arnsberg region.
The district formation occurred on January 1, 1975, through the merger of three former districts: Arnsberg, Brilon, and Meschede.
Local residents maintain strong Westphalian traditions through regional food specialties, including game dishes and dairy products from mountain pastures.
The district capital Meschede connects to twelve municipalities through an extensive network of roads and public transportation systems.
Winter sports facilities in Winterberg and mountain biking trails in Willingen make this district a center for outdoor recreation.
