Saalfeld as an attractive place to live for property buyers

When selling a property, it is important to present not only the house or flat to prospective buyers in an attractive light, but also the town and the surrounding area. As an established estate agent in Saalfeld and the surrounding area, we can provide you with relevant information.

Saalfeld is located in the Saale valley on the great curve of the Saale river, in the middle of a landscape of green mountain slopes and deep, narrow valleys. The charming landscape is particularly appealing to hikers, cyclists and water sports enthusiasts. The nearby Thuringian Sea with the Hohenwarte reservoir and the Bleilochtalsperre dam tempt visitors with cool, clear water and fresh forest air in bathing weather. Numerous campsites and the well-frequented passenger fleet guarantee attractive leisure opportunities. Due to the mountainous location of the district town, the climate is temperate, mild and warm, which can only be found in central Germany. Saalfeld has a well-developed transport network with connections to the B85 and B281 trunk roads.

Thanks to the bypass to the north of the town, life in the centre of Saalfeld is quiet and noise-free. The B88 and B90 motorways lead to more remote areas and towns. If you want to reach your destination more quickly, you can choose between the A4, A9 and A71 motorways, which are also nearby. Saalfeld is also a centre for rail transport. Regional trains run every hour during the day in the direction of Leipzig and Nuremberg, as well as to the state capital Erfurt.

The area of the town centre is extended by the nearby incorporated villages of Obernitz, Remschütz, Gorndorf, Beulwitz, Saalfelder Höhe, Wittgendorf, Reichmannsdorf and Schmiedefeld.

Sights and events in Saalfeld

The "Stone Chronicle" Saalfeld offers a wealth of sights and attractions.

The most famous tourist attraction is located just outside the town: the Saalfeld Fairy Caves. With their unique underground world of long corridors and large stalactite caves, they cast a spell over thousands of visitors every year. Children can let off steam in the nearby Feenweltchen adventure world and discover the magical world of fairies and elves. But a visit to the old town is also worthwhile, as there are many historical buildings to admire. These include the almost completely preserved town gates from the 13th/14th century, Eyba Castle, which is over a thousand years old, the crenellated Kitzerstein Castle and the striking Renaissance-style town hall on the market square. Nature lovers can venture up the 482-metre-high Kulm mountain to enjoy the wonderful view over the Saalfeld - Rudolstadt - Bad Blankenburg triangle and into the vastness of the Thuringian Forest.

In 2018, Saalfeld was certified as a "state-recognised town with a healing cave". There is a natural healing gallery in the former alum shale mine, the Saalfeld Fairy Caves. The inhalation cures offered there are mainly used to treat respiratory diseases due to the low-allergen and fine-dust air.

Annual events in Saalfeld include the Detscherfest, the Beer Festival, the Grottenadvent, the Diafestival and the Volksfest on the Weidig.

Saalfeld has a large outdoor pool and an indoor swimming pool.

There is a spa clinic on the keep above the town.
