Yup i think so, Microplana terrestris (given by someone else here) seems to match!

Almost definitely a leech. They do live in western Europe, although I've only met them in very watery areas (Friesland)

I was almost sure too but i poured hot water on it to kill it (and kill any from my pipes), and the belly part is white (see pic) and i cant find any leech type with white "belly".

Not an entomologist, but I'm thinking terrestrial flatworm - with the white belly perhaps microplana terrestris?

Yup, i think you are right! Still dont know how he managed to get there, but at least im a little bit less worried to take my shower now...

I had a lot of snails these days in my garden and these flatworm prey on them, so that makes sense.

No it didnt move like a slug (it head could "freely" move around like a leech) and over here we dont have such slim slug like these

Leeches have distinctive mouths, so there's one way to find out. Well, two ways, I guess. You can put it on your leg and see if it starts sucking your blood. I'd advise just checking its mouth parts.

Not a leech, leeches have transversal rings and this guy looks very smooth.

[Likely Solved] Got this thing on my shower wall, looks like a leech, but is it possible (im in western Europe)? | Spyke
