The district maintains connections with towns in France and Germany through formal partnerships that bring cultural exchanges and joint initiatives to the community. These relationships shape how locals engage with neighbors across borders.
The area is best explored by car or public transport, which connect the various villages and town centers throughout the district. Open spaces and natural areas are accessible through public paths and designated routes for visitors.
The territory contains several designated areas of scientific importance where heathland vegetation thrives on sandy soils, creating specialized habitats for distinctive plants and wildlife. These natural spaces reflect the original landscape that once covered much of the region.
