Bocholtz: village life with mixed reviews

The plus, chip shop, kapsalon, a couple of cafes, nothing more." Another, who has lived here for almost 30 years, notes: "the village is declining.

A third review is more positive: "Always fun and cosy." Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores 6.88 out of 10.
