Auto-translated to English by AINever really anything unpleasant happens. Everything is actually very good here. Clean, safe, etc.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are many amenities, 2 schools, sports facilities, elderly homes, shops, gatherings, committees, parties and much more, all in such a small village. It is also not far from the city, so for a day out you don't have to travel far. The only thing that is a bit less is public transport. Because the village mainly consists of residential areas, there are actually only bus stops on the main street. It doesn't matter much, since everything is easy to do by bike.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood to grow up in but not much happens. There are no shops or anything for shopping. Really only the necessary shops. The people are friendly and the neighbourhoods safe.
