Bälau covers 6.50 square kilometers (1600 acres) which are mostly used for agriculture, with a relatively high proportion of forest. In addition to agricultural businesses, the village has a riding school and vacation apartments. It is a peaceful village, without a major road running through it, and a village green bordered by lime trees. Several well-preserved farmer's houses set the character for the village.
