Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Wulvergem

The drive from CRL to Wulvergem

The route covers 146 km (91 miles) and typically takes 1 h 41 m. It leads from Hainaut across to the far west of Flanders, so this is a long transfer that is booked less often than others, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time during the morning and evening rush around Brussels and Ghent, and in poor weather. The last stretch runs through quiet country roads, so your driver may take a little longer once you leave the main motorway.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you travel with more luggage or a bigger party, the 8-seat minibus gives you extra space. For tour groups, school trips, sports clubs or event delegations heading to the Flanders Fields area, minibuses with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats are available. Tell us your group size and luggage when you book, and we will match the vehicle.

About Wulvergem

Wulvergem is a small village in the municipality of Heuvelland in West Flanders, close to the French border. The area is hilly by Flemish standards and is known for its rural scenery and for its place in the First World War landscape of the Westhoek. Visitors usually come for battlefield walks, cycling and quiet countryside stays, not for urban sightseeing.

Where to stay near Wulvergem

• Hotel Ariane, a well-known hotel in Ypres, popular with visitors to the battlefields.
• Hotel Regina, a long-running hotel close to the town centre.
• Albion Hotel, a traditional hotel in Ypres, handy for the Menin Gate and the In Flanders Fields Museum.
