To say that Rudesheim is not exactly known for its quietude is a gross underRude-sheim- statement. With wine, trains and song, the whistlestop doesnt give a toot whether it sleeps or not. When visiting Rudesheim it is helpful if you are (1) either an insomniac or (2) in possession of a goodly supply of earplugs. What with the tubas, the trumpets and the trains it is famous throughout Germathat lively little ny as town. LIVELY INDEED. One hotel alone employes six omm-pabands for entertaining its guests, the action beginning at 11 a.m. and continuing til 4 oclock the 'Mowing morning. It is little wonder that everyone consumes so much wine, wine being the most available remedv for reliev h ing the Rudesheim jitters. To explain, Rudesheim is in the heart of Germanys 60 Rhine wine region miles west of Frankfurt. As a result, hundreds of liters are consumed in an almost constant round of sipping and singing. Rudesheim is also a major steamer stop between Switerland and Holland, not to mention the trains which race by madly as well as constantly. IF YOU WISH to feel the pulse of Germany, take a room in the Parkhotel. At first glance it seems innocent enough, what with rooms facing the Rhine with unobstructed of views steamer and barge traffic along the river. The difficulty arises when you decide it is time to sleep. It is then that you learn the hotel also faces the railroad tracks. hour, or one every six minutes. I learned too late that the Parkhotel is on the express route from Frankfurt to Cologne. Between the train whistles and the blasts of the omm-pa- h bands, there s is little wonder that well as residents are so fond as its visitors of the grape. THE WINE is their most available sedative. Information distributed by the local tourist office gives As in all fair , warnings: Rhineland towns, the liveliest hotels are on the river. Rude-sheim- Rudesheims tourist offi- cials go on to suggest that visitors seeking rest rather than the riotous toots and s should seek shelter in the inns behind town. It was there that I discovered a peaceful gasthaus at Markstrasse No. 30. Standing since 1723, Jacob Guntlichs cozy dwelling provides bed and breakfast for $5 a night single or $10 double. FLOWERS SPILL over oom-pah- I keep asking myself, why is it that I get a hotel with 240 trains hurrying by every 24 uV hours? Simple arithmetic will tell you this means 10 trains an 8 DAYS from pots and old wine barrels, and the timbered facade brings to mind something out of Hansel and Gretel. Eleswhere in Rudesheim you may choose drinking from a wine barrel or else sleeping in one. At the Hotel Lindenwirt, six gargantuan wine barrels have been into rooms priced at $18 a day, double. How many tourists can go home and boast to the neighbors: Guess what? I slept in a wine barrel! Besides the wine barrels, the hotel provides visitors with 100 rooms of more orthidox design. Whether wine barrel or ordinary room, however, it is not for recommended early sleepers. ALTHOUGH not on the railroad tracks, the Lindenwirt is the hotel which serenades its guests with the six oom-pabands. on United Air Lines 747's Every Saturday Your V.'eha Experience includes: Sp :A..i roundtrip group air fare with meal and champagne enroute!
