The trip not only begins with a tractor, but also with a Barkas B1000 and a Trabant 601, which was rebuilt by loyal friends, 28-year-old Titus Scholz and 35-year-old Fabian Nadoll.

The challenge of the trip

The entire route amounts to around 5,000 kilometers, and Maik has equipped its tractor caravan with a ZT 323 (built in 1984) and other nostalgic vehicles, all of which are in excellent condition. Thanks to their practical equipment, such as air conditioning and radio, they are well equipped for the long journey. Estimated gasoline costs of around 4,500 euros and a speed of only 30 km/h give the route a very special character. Maik is afraid of flying and is therefore happy to be able to travel with the tractor. The entire trip is scheduled for seven weeks and it will be exciting how the trip will develop.

A nice custom runs through the tour: Thomas Kresse, a friend of Maik, has applied him to pour a sip of Temnitzwasser into the Mediterranean. In return, a bottle of water from the Mediterranean is brought back to Temnitz. This small ritual stands not only for the connection to home, but also for international understanding, for which Maik uses its existence in the region, as well as Amt-temnitz.de reports.

All of this does not happen without support: numerous sponsors from the region and local companies are behind the project. It is a common undertaking that also draws attention to the region. The celebration in Mallorca is accompanied by around 50 guests including friends and family, and Maik is convinced: "This is a very special experience that you don't have every day."

The return trip to Barcelona is already booked for July 8th, and the anticipation of the entire trip remains noticeable. With the retro charm of the vehicles and the excitement of the road trip, Maik Horn's Mallorca tour is an event that will certainly memorize the hearts of the participants.
