#AROUNDTHEEARTH
Gerfried “Friedl” Swoboda has undertaken to do nothing less than circle the globe. This extreme road trip is set to last four years. The 50-year-old from Salzburg is on the road with his Fennek, a 6×6 Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer 718T. The globetrotter embarked on his journey in July 2018, and plans on returning in June 2022. Stickers with the Würth logo adorn the powerful all-terrain vehicle. Swoboda: “Würth supports me with quality tools, which are essential on these types of trips. The employees at Würth Austria are fond of my project.” Why is Friedl Swoboda always on the move? “I like to actively seek out adventure,” says the doctor of geology. This picture was taken last fall at Karakul Lake in Tajikistan. This small map shows which route he took from there. In the spring, the voyage will continue to Vladivostok, where the Fennek will be shipped to Canada.
