Living in Dalen, Coevorden

Dalen is the central village within the district of the same name, and you notice this as soon as you walk around. It is a real Drenthe village with a recognisable core: a village square, some catering establishments, a supermarket and the necessary small shops for daily groceries. The buildings are varied. Around the centre you will find older houses from the 1950s and 1960s, while on the edges of the village lie newer residential areas with larger plots and more greenery. The houses often stand on larger plots than in urban areas, with gardens that really look like gardens.

What distinguishes Dalen from surrounding villages such as Dalerveen or Wachtum is the presence of basic amenities within walking distance. There is a primary school in the village, a GP practice, and for sports you can go to the local football club and tennis club. The Drenthe landscape literally begins behind the back garden: there are plenty of cycling routes through the surrounding coulisse landscape, and the nearby Drentsche Aa area also attracts walkers and nature lovers.

Accessibility by car is reasonable. Via the N34 you quickly reach Emmen (about 20 minutes) or Hoogeveen. There is no train station in Dalen itself; the nearest stations are Coevorden and Emmen. Bus connections run, but the frequency is limited, which means that a car is not an unnecessary luxury for most residents. The municipality of Coevorden has plans for further development of infrastructure in the region; more information can be found on the website of the municipality of Coevorden.

Residents describe Dalen as quiet and clear, with strong social cohesion. One resident writes: "It is a village where people still know each other. The neighbourhood is green, the children play outside and you have all basic amenities by bike." Criticisms that come back are the limited entertainment options for young people and the dependence on the car for larger shopping trips or cultural activities.
