Hoge Dennen02-05-2025
Cosy, atmospheric neighbourhood surrounded by nature and plenty of education.

Cosy neighbourhood with regular parties. All generations and always new young people. Surrounded by forests and plenty of sports and schools. With a city centre but also a small centre for the Hoge Dennen. Public transport everywhere with a motorway and train station for going to Utrecht, for example.
