Quiet, apart from the noisy café, the speeding cars and agricultural traffic.

In itself a good neighbourhood, however, the municipality refuses to do anything about the speeding through traffic and the heavy traffic that causes vibrations in the houses on Parallelweg.

yo your beloved Frederik here with another review. this area is pretty good man, it's quiet, only about 3 people live there and no blacks or Turks so no problem. there is a secret cocaine lab underneath so it's a bit risky but otherwise chill. education is mediocre man because there are only 3 people. you can't do a damn thing in this area. community is basically not applicable, it's 3 people who are inbred. cheers, Frederik

It is a fairly quiet neighbourhood but it has also known other times. In terms of greenery, only ugly shrubs have been planted by the municipality.

A nice neighbourhood but the street less so because contacts are far apart.

Nice neighbourhood to live in, lots of space and greenery. Unfortunately few amenities and a secondary school and train station are an hour's bike ride away. There is a well-connected bus station though. The neighbourhood is safe but cars drive fast. Also clean except for occasional mud.
