Burak Urtyk is a 26-year-old Turkish man who, in fulfillment of the fifth pillar of Islam, according to which every believer must make the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once, has begun to fulfill this obligation by traveling by bicycle from Stuttgart, Germany, to Mecca. A distance of 6,000 kilometers that the 26-year-old hopes to cover with the help and faith in God.
But, besides the destination, Burak visits many other places along the way, and one of them that he likes and has left an impression on is the city of Prizren, where he does not hide the fact that he feels at home.
"I am very happy to be here, I was there two years ago and I can say that it is one of the most beautiful in Europe. When I come to Prizren I feel at home," he tells A2 CNN.
As for the unusual trip, he says that he enjoys making such trips and that this one to Mecca, despite the kilometers, is among the most special ones he has ever undertaken.
"My journey started in Stuttgart. I decided to go to Mecca because it is the best destination for a Muslim in this world."
After visiting Prizren, Buraku greets in Albanian to continue his journey. (A2 Televizion)
