July 8, 1930


Got up before 8 o'clock. Then we walked around a little bit. At noon T. Burger was here. He took us for a ride in his car. In the afternoon Irene F. and I went to the Ice Helle. Here from the top of the hill we could see the Tatra in the distance outlined against the sky I have never seen anything so marvelous as the Ice Helle. Our guide explained everything to me in German. There was the little capelle, Niagara Falls, Christmas tree, window with curtain, show stage with curtain drawn, the organ, the altar, and the rose garden all made of ice. Near the entrance the top of the Helle shone like diamonds. Then there is a magnificent place for skating. The rose garden was lit up by different colored lights. Outside of the Ice Helle, the woods are all Christmas trees. Later, Irene F. took some pictures of us. In the late evening, we 3 went out walking with Kalman Benedicty. It was very cool to go out walking and I was glad to crawl into bed.
