It’s great. Great Quality of Life in the entire area due to everything being close by.
Now I am not there, but doesn’t feel that dense. just happens to be a lot of cities near by and all very well connected.
Great
Cant wait to get back to Franken. Fuck people.
Depends on where you life. In the Sauerland (south east of NRW) you are still pretty rural. In the ruhr area, its a while different type of animal.
It’s still “just” Germany. Not like the streets are flooded with people or anything. Germany is very decentralised, even NRW has lots of agricultural fields and we don’t have massive skyscrapers like the US has them.
In short, I’ve never felt like the regions I’ve been to were particularly rich in people compared to others.
Great, love nrw tbh
As someone who lives in Santiago, Chile and lived in Bochum for a year, it felt incredible, I already spend 20-30mins on a subway to go to the center of my city so 40min to Düsseldorf instead of just my city center was amazing
I’m a 20 min bike ride from two different city centers and I’m still able to see sheep out my window. It’s great.
I never noticed it until a friend and I turned 18 and wanted to shoot somewhere with our pellet guns… almost impossible because people are everywhere. Even if you go into a forest or field, there will be bicycles or walkers.
I live in the middle of the Ruhrpott and I love it. Everything is just a 30 minutes drive away and it never gets boring.
Crowded. As someone not coming from there I always feel relief when I am somewhere with open uninhabitat spaces. I actually long for that subconciously and really plan my holidays accordingly.
Not to say it’s bad though (it isn’t – lots of cool things to do). It is just really really crowded (except in some areas in the periphery). Most people who have grown up there enjoy the buzz though.
