The municipal administration is based at Parklaan 169 and provides residents with services such as appointment scheduling and reporting environmental issues. The location along the Scheldt river and proximity to several town centers make the area relatively easy to explore.
The Kluisbos forest area contains two ancient stone formations from Roman times, which remain as evidence of ancient settlement. The Hotondberg represents the highest point in East Flanders and serves as a distinctive landmark for visitors.
