Lichtenvoorde

Of course! Lichtenvoorde in the province of Gelderland is truly a special place. It is a charming town with a rich history and a strong sense of community. The annual Zwarte Cross is one of the biggest events and attracts visitors from far and wide, always creating a vibrant atmosphere. The surroundings also offer beautiful nature, ideal for walking and cycling trips. It is truly a place where you can find peace, but also enjoy lively activities. A truly cosmic place to live!

Cosy and pleasant

A pleasant and safe neighbourhood! Every time we've been on holiday, we look forward to coming back to our little neighbourhood! We're never leaving here! The only point for improvement is the schools in the area; primary schools are fine, but secondary school quality is mediocre... Family coming from further away can easily get here via easy roads and it's very easy to find! It's lovely to walk or run here through the beautiful nature and walking routes.

Fine

Fine neighbourhood, but everyone is very much to themselves. You don't really know each other, and nobody really feels the need to. I do find that a shame.
