Auto-translated to English by AIThis area is truly rural. 5 minutes' walk to a swimming pond, 5 seconds' walk to trees, birds and squirrels. Only 5 seconds? That's right, you open your door and you're in your own garden with trees where you find this. Then you think, this is really in the middle of nowhere. Here's the fun part: 5 minutes by car or 10 minutes by bike and you're in a large shopping centre with 3 supermarkets, clothing stores and whatever else you need. It's a neighbourhood where neighbourliness still prevails, rubbish rarely lies on the ground and if it does, there's always someone who will clean it up. Of course, you can also do that yourself. Because it's a rural area, there are many through streets and you can literally travel from north to south and from east to west. Public transport is a bit less organised, but you don't need it either. If you have small children, there is a small primary school, but they do work with combined classes. Hence the lower score.
