Center of Leohito

Before the 2015 territorial reform, Leohito had an area of ​​38.65 km². Now it is 40.55 km². Across the Talau River , later called Taipui , lies the Indonesian West Timor in the southeast . The river flows northeast and meets the Malibaca River . From here the river swings northwards as Nunura . At the confluence, Indonesia and Leohito meet the Sucos Leolima (Balibo administrative office) and Tapo / Memo ( Maliana administrative office ). To the northwest of Leohito is the Suco Balibo Vila and to the west of the Suco Cowa . The Tishun waterfall is located in Suco Leohito .

In the center of Sucos are the villages of Ferik Katuas ( Feric Catuas , Ferikatuas , German  old wives ), Wiwik , Mohak ( Mohac ), Faloai ( Falo Ai , Falahai , Faluai ) and Beremanu . The places Ualeten , Fauk , Maulelo , Kamileten and Aiasa ( Ai-Assa ) are in the north. In the south are the villages Besakren , Nuren , Remian and Rai Ulun ( Raiulun ). In the extreme northwest is the place Nalametan . There are elementary schools in Kamileten, Mohak and Raiulun. Only simple, small streets connect the villages with the outside world.

In Leohito there are the five aldeias Aiasa , Faloai , Ferik Katuas , Mohak and Rai Ulun .

The Mobusa water reservoir in Suco Leohito ( 9 ° 0 '40 "  S , 125 ° 5' 19"  O ) is also used to supply the Indonesian village Asumanu . It was built during the 1991 occupation. When a restoration of the reservoir became necessary in 2006, both countries worked together on this project, which is considered a prime example of neighborly cooperation across the border.

The mountain Leohito is outside the Sucos, east of Malibacaflusses.
