Aywaille

The term designating the inhabitants of our municipality, "Aqualiens" comes from the Latin version of Aywaille "Aqualia loca" (watery area, miry terrain).

Touristic capital of Amblève valley, Aywaille is located 25 km from Liège and is privileged with major lines of communication (highway, train, bus).
