“The Austrian Rock” (La Roca Austriaca) pulled the wagons with harnesses slung over their shoulders for a distance of 10 meters and 60 centimeters under the watchful eye of the inhabitants of the southern department of Cuzco.
Between grunts and notable physical efforts, Mülner managed to break the first of the seven extreme strength records that he has set in his “Worldwide Tour 7 Records, 7 Continents” challenge, with which he will tour Europe, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Africa, America North and South America, said the railway company Inca Rail in a statement.
The 2,700-meter altitude where the town of Ollantaytambo is located, where thousands of tourists travel annually to the ruins of Machu Picchu, did not stop the efforts of the Austrian, known for having dragged helicopters, tractors and even planes.
The train company celebrated and congratulated “The Austrian Rock” for its sporting merits and hopes that this act will help to focus on Ollanaytambo, considered the best tourist town in 2021 by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).
Tourism in the Cuzco region was affected by anti-government protests in December, January and February, which forced the intermittent closure of railway activity and the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, which was reopened on February 15.
