Quiet

A quiet neighbourhood with relatively quiet residents. The village feel (including the gossiping and judging) is sometimes a bit oppressive. Relatively conservative and religious neighbourhood. Via the Rhine, actually only the north is easily accessible. The N-road that connects the village with the rest of the world is unfortunately situated and busy.
