The village is home to the German boarding school Outdoor College. It was founded by Maike and Günter Hoffmann and welcomed its first class of students, counting 23 adolescents, in August 2014. The school building is named Dr. Rolf Hoffmann Skole, after Günter Hoffmann's father who died a few months after the school's initial opening. Before the building was used as a local school for the surrounding villages, however, had been close to for many years because of a decreasing number of students.
