Info on hotels in area. I tried to look but they are all written in German. I will be taking the family on vacation to Germany and just so happens to be the show that weekend. Just need places to stay.

I've also had good luck with travelocity.com. You can at least get rates and locations. Many hotels in Europe are small, privately owned (and the best ones to stay at!) and if they even have websites, they are usually pretty simple. But most will answer e-mails in english.

I stay in a larger hotel in nearby Hameln (sp?) because that is where the guy who lets me drive his vintage cars wants me to (!). They have a nice locked access underground garage (that the '64 ladder truck won't fit in BTW) and it is along the river. Nice place, I can find the name of it if you want, or maybe someone here knows it. I think it was about 10 min drive from Hessisch.

But being a year out now, you might have a pretty good chance of getting a room in Hessisch if that is where you want to stay.

In 2009 I stayed in Apartment-Hotel Hameln. Got it through booking.com. The hotel was nothing fancy but good enough to crash overnight because let's face it - you will be busy checking out vintage VWs all day and checking out the beergardens at night. It had good sized rooms - great for a family with kids. Hameln is about 10-15 minutes drive from Hessisch-Oldendorf. Hameln is a good sized town with plenty to see and do. The only thing is that you need to drive so take it easy on the beer and schnapps Wink

The city of Hessisch Oldendorf has a tourist information, where you can book rooms & more:

http://www.westliches-weserbergland.de/de/hessisch-oldendorf/

If you have no luck, you may can ask for rooms in Rinteln, which is the nearest city westside of Hessisch Oldendorf - less than 10 Minutes in a vintage car from there to the event. You can find.

Nearby the Autobahn Exit of Lauenau, you have a nice and modern Motel named "Montana". Even this is not far from HO,

Best regards & see you in 2013

Pardon my ignorance... but can you get a train or bus from either of these towns to HO if you're not with a vehicle?
thanks
Brian

I believe you can. Go to Google maps and look around, the train lines are shown as are the stations.

i will drive the 52 split but unfortunately won't register. so i guess you'll see it parked somewhere near a mint condition 57 big window black/red, not in the split avenue Smile

how about another samba meeting at noon in the beer tent? Cool

One of the reasons is financial, Christian. From my place to Hessisch i have 2000km one way, so that might add up to 4500km in my 2 weeks vacation. Gas prices went up, and Romania is not in a very good economic situation. Prices go up, my salary not. Besides that, i have to overcome also a hostile exchange rate from RON > EUR. If i have to choose between 2 full tanks and the Hessisch registration, i know what to choose. I am not complaining, nor i want a lower tax, i am just saying that for me, on a tight budget is hard.

The best i can is to be there, with the split, not in a modern car. Wait... i don't have a modern car... Laughing
