Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Rocherath

The drive from Brussels Airport to Rocherath

Rocherath lies 164 km (102 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive typically takes 1 h 58 m. Most of the distance is covered on motorway heading east, before the final stretch continues on regional roads into the eastern part of Belgium. Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour around Brussels, or in winter, when snow and fog can slow traffic in the high country near the German border. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers is the simplest option and leaves room for luggage. Larger parties can travel together in a private minibus with 8 or 16 seats. For wedding guests, sports teams, hikers' clubs or company outings, minibuses with 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats keep the whole group in a single vehicle. Pick the size according to your luggage as well as your headcount, especially if you are bringing ski or hiking gear.

About Rocherath

Rocherath is a small village in the German-speaking East Cantons of Belgium. It belongs to the municipality of Büllingen and forms a pair with the neighbouring village of Krinkelt. The surroundings are quiet and wooded, close to the Eifel hills and the High Fens nature area, which makes the region popular with walkers, cyclists and cross-country skiers. The twin villages are also known for their role in the fighting of December 1944, and the history of the area draws visitors interested in the Battle of the Bulge. Expect a rural setting rather than a busy town centre, so it helps to share the exact address of your accommodation when booking.
