The municipality was established as part of Austria's modern administrative system and has remained part of the Tamsweg district since then. This placement has shaped how local services and governance operate in the region.

The municipality hosts Samson festivals that bring together residents and visitors throughout the year to celebrate shared traditions. These gatherings show how the community keeps local customs alive in daily life.

The municipal office at Pfarrstraße 7 is the main point for visitor information and local services. The high elevation means cool temperatures year-round, making walking and outdoor exploration comfortable for most of the year.
