Weiswampach, lakes, Ardennes farmhouses and Belgium next door

Weiswampach is the commune that looks across to Belgium from the country’s last corner. It has 2,699 residents, 35 km² and thirteen localities, including Binsfeld, Wemperhardt and Leithum, and it shares Luxembourg’s far north with Troisvierges. Officially it isn’t yet part of the Our Nature Park, but it has been working with the park since September 2021 to join.

The lakes, the reason to come

What puts Weiswampach on the tourist map is its pair of artificial lakes, 6 hectares each. visitluxembourg sells them as a summer swimming spot, with a pirate playground, a maze, local walk WW 3 and a nature trail through the Conzefenn reserve. There’s a holiday resort with accommodation right next to them. I go into detail on the Weiswampach lake page.

A few steps from the water, at Om Leempuddel, is the Tourist Info. In late September 2026 the office worked weekdays only, 8.30 to 11.30am and 1 to 4.30pm (Fridays to 4pm), and closed at weekends, which is exactly when most visitors turn up. I’d have my route planned before arriving.

A Schiewesch, farm life in Binsfeld

My favourite stop in the commune is in Binsfeld. The A Schiewesch rural museum fills a 17th-century farmhouse around 300 years old, with more than 50 themed spaces over 21 rooms showing how Ardennes farmers and craftspeople lived. The wood-fired oven is lit regularly for cooking the old way, and tractor rides can be arranged on request. The guided tour lasts two hours, costs €30 for groups of up to 20 and runs in Luxembourgish, German, English or French.

Entry is €7 (€5 with the Gero 60+ card), free up to age 12 and free with the LuxembourgPass. Around 30 September 2026 it was letting visitors in from 2pm, with last entry at 5pm and closing at 6pm. The museum also lets out a holiday house.

Wartime memory

On Urenerweeg in Weiswampach stands the Lancaster Memorial, which remembers the crews of two Lancaster bombers that crashed here during the Second World War, with a small chapel for reflection. It fits naturally into a tour of the Battle of the Bulge in Luxembourg sites, even if the official listing doesn’t date the crashes.

Getting there and where to stay

Weiswampach has no railway. The commune names Troisvierges and Clervaux as the nearest stations, and four bus routes cross it, the 170 from Ettelbruck, the 173 to Saint-Vith, the 174 to Hosingen and the 175 round the smaller villages. The Our Nature Park has also waymarked a 28 km e-bike route between Troisvierges and Weiswampach. STATEC counted three hotels or similar and one campsite in 2025, more than any other commune in the far north except Clervaux, so this is a place where staying the night makes sense. From here, the highest point in Luxembourg is only about 3 km away as the crow flies, at Wilwerdange in neighbouring Troisvierges.

Where the bus does not go, a car does: compare car hire in Luxembourg before you arrive rather than at the desk.
