Echten is a tiny village with just over 200 residents. One resident describes it as "Rural and wonderfully quiet", a place where you can still put things outside and enjoy the sheep in the meadow. There's a school for the youngest villagers, but for groceries you'll need to go elsewhere. The neighbourhood is mostly families and couples, with a mix of ages. This is a close-knit community in the municipality De Wolden.
