The Drive to Wijnendale

It leads west across Flanders, mostly by motorway, before the final stretch continues on smaller regional roads into the countryside. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush around Brussels, or in poor weather, as the first part of the journey is the busiest. Wijnendale is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller parties are best served by a private taxi, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The 1-4 passenger car is a sensible choice for a family or for travellers with several suitcases. Larger groups, such as wedding parties, business delegations or families travelling together, can choose a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Pick the size by counting both passengers and luggage, so that everyone travels comfortably after a long flight.
