Auto-translated to English by AIPeople get along well with each other
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is a cosy street with good neighbours who look out for each other. The location is right by the river Dinkel and it's very nice to walk there. Additionally, Losser is near Germany, which is handy for groceries and fuel, which are much cheaper there. The only downside is that some people from the neighbourhood let their dog do its business in our garden.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a nice, accessible village with many different ages. There are 2 supermarkets, a few cafes, and some nice little shops (medikamente die grenze, Kruidvat, Zeeman, Shoeby, Blokker, Terstal, Hema, etc.). There are a few fun tent parties in the centre each year (think carnival, Breughel, Ascension Day) and a farmers' market every few weeks. However, there isn't much to do or places to hang out for young people (15 to 22 years old) (such as nightlife, nice terraces, bowling, or other activities).
