Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice area to live in. There are several shops and many things to do (a bit less for the youth) but it remains a fun neighbourhood and beautiful to live in. Beautiful nature areas for walking, cycling, rollerblading and other things.

Auto-translated to English by AIA fairly quiet neighbourhood with quite a lot of greenery. Also many deer and squirrels.
Auto-translated to English by AInice and safe neighbourhood, unfortunately the playgrounds have become overgrown over the years and nothing has been added for children. 2 buses go to Winschoten from where you can continue by train into the country. Quiet village well suited for elderly people or those who like peace and quiet.
