Leithum: Find churches, hiking trails and hotels

Leithum offers several distinct points of interest for a stay: a church with different historical layers, trails with marked or landscape-related features, and the Marche Gourmande Multiculturelle. This lets you plan your trip around what interests you most: culture and history, a hiking route, or the culinary events on offer.

Church and cultural features

The Immaculée Conception church in Leithum was first built in 1879. It was initially dedicated to the 14 Holy Helpers; later, it was dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. The date of construction and the change of dedication are therefore part of its history. The church also contains remnants of medieval wall paintings. The 1879 building and the medieval paintings reflect different periods; together, they make the church interesting to visitors interested in religious art and the historical development of a place of worship.

Another cultural feature of Leithum is its seven modern windows by Gust Zanter, dating from 1988. They add a modern dimension to Leithum’s historical and cultural themes.

Hiking trails and landscape

The local WW 1 hiking trail is marked in both directions with white-and-blue signs bearing the designation “WW 1.” There is a parking lot right at the starting point. For navigation before your hike, the route, the marker colors and the starting point are specific features to look out for.

The Auto-Pédestre Weiswampach route offers a different perspective: it climbs into peaceful Leithum. At first, the route follows a small stream to its confluence with the Schibech. It then runs along the Schibech through green meadows before crossing the stream. This lets you follow the landscape step by step—from the small stream to its confluence, then along the meadows and across the water.

The two trail descriptions highlight different features: WW 1 is described as marked in both directions, with a parking lot at the starting point; the Auto-Pédestre Weiswampach route is characterized by its climb to Leithum and the sequence of stream, Schibech and meadows. Consider whether clear wayfinding along the trail or the described landscape is more important to you when choosing.

Marche Gourmande Multiculturelle

The 2026 Marche Gourmande Multiculturelle features food stalls from Madagascar, Macedonia, Portugal and Luxembourg. The circular route follows field and forest paths to Leithum and back. It is about 9 km long and takes approximately four hours, including tastings. For planning your time, it is important to note that this approximate duration includes the tastings and therefore does not refer to walking time alone. The route and the culinary stops are part of the event: you can take both the countries represented by the stalls and the time needed for the circuit into account when planning.
