Wonderful living in peace and safety within short distance of motorways.

If you are open-minded, you have many pleasant contacts. Unfortunately, no café or catering establishment within walking distance.

Often loitering youths and vandalism during New Year's Eve with fireworks. Not a pleasant neighbourhood to live in, few facilities for the community, for children, young people and the elderly. It would be nice if more were organised within the community, and if people could get in touch with each other in a more positive way. The neighbourhoods could do with a lot more greenery!! Outside the neighbourhood there is fortunately a nice piece of estate and forest, but now there is also dissatisfaction about that because there are building plans there.

We know each other and are open to others

It's just great, I live outside the village myself but on a holiday it's a big village party. Also a nice village square with stalls every weekend and a fair and even a party tent.

It's beautiful here / living so close to nature, but for further entertainment and groceries you'll have to get on your bike or in your car ;)

Fine neighbourhood, a bit of everything. Elderly, young people, school around the corner and football and tennis in our own village

Rumpt is FANTASTIC!!

You feel super welcome in this neighbourhood. Every year there is a village festival and almost the entire village takes part. They even take the elderly and young people into account.
