Due to the lack of physical infrastructure, there is no significant economy. The main field of activity here is agriculture and forestry, with the focus on sheep breeding and pasture management. There is also a small village shop in the village.

In summer there are the Schelken Culture Days, which always take place on a weekend in August. There is also a village partnership with the Hungarian community of Lajoskomárom with regular exchange. There is also a brass band which has existed since 1879 and plays on various occasions. In the past there was also a partnership with a children's village in Kecskemét, Hungary, which was abandoned.
