Then you really have to consider whether it’s worth it to you. It certainly isn’t an option for everyone. For me, it definitely wouldn’t be, time is money.

Addition: I initially misread and related the time to 70km by bike. But 20km + 30min by train is still manageable. Although personally, I’m also too sensitive to weather/temperature for that.

I would put it differently (as someone who never had more than 15 minutes to work, for most of my life even just "down the stairs" to the office or like now about 1 km ...) Time is priceless because it is once-in-a-lifetime (life) time. I always try not to "waste" my time driving or on other useless things. Of course, that doesn’t always succeed, but if I had to commute every day for 30-60 minutes one way I would also rather spend (possible/available) money to minimize the distance.

Would also depend on whether children are planned. Because then such distances are a huge organizational challenge. At least if both work. Without children, I also find it borderline, but with a child, I would rather put a garden shed on my 500k€ plot.

But especially with children, I wouldn’t want to live in the city. Sure, rural life requires more driving and organization, but if you like it, the quality of life is completely different. I’d rather drive 1 to 1.5 hours a day and live where others go on vacation.

Exactly the opposite is what city dwellers say – quality of life in the city = everything within walking or biking distance (especially now with fuel prices, a huge advantage, my kids are driven around 200 km weekly to go horseback riding...), infrastructure of all kinds (art, music, galleries, playgrounds, water parks, saunas, etc.), shopping, evening activities (cinema, restaurants, bars, old town...). P.S. By the way, there are always far more tourists in the city for their (short) vacation than in the countryside. Alone Berlin receives around 13 million tourists annually, Munich almost 10 million, etc. P.P.S. I do prefer the green periphery too ;)

Living where others go on vacation, I find terrible. I would not want that. Tourism shifts healthy proportions into unhealthy ones (fixed prices, space used for tourism, the slowness of public life - the bus driver constantly has to explain how to buy a ticket and therefore cannot start driving, political measures, etc.). Tourists use the place where they are on vacation but give nothing back except foreign currency/money that would be of any value to the locals.

I live in a not very touristic country and there in a city that is considered a hidden gem. Thank God so hidden that it is all within limits. But it is not nice.

The exact opposite is what city dwellers say - quality of life in the city = everything reachable on foot and by bike (especially now with fuel prices a huge advantage, my kids are driven about 200 km weekly to horseback riding...), infrastructure of all kinds (art, music, galleries, playgrounds, water parks, sauna, etc.), shopping, evening activities (cinema, restaurants, bars, old town...).

P.S. By the way, there are always many more tourists in the city for their (short) holidays than in the countryside. Every year about 13 million tourists come to Berlin alone, almost 10 million to Munich, etc.
P.P.S. But I also prefer the green periphery ;)

Well, you wouldn’t reach horseback riding within walking distance in the city either. Here in the countryside, we’d have that closer by foot.
Everything has its pros and cons.
Therefore, I wouldn’t generalize that.
