Lenda is not actually a mountaineer, but a newspaper deliverer. Nevertheless, the 40-year-old has had to climb quite a few meters over the past few weeks. Because the elevator in a high-rise building had broken down, she had to climb 320 steps every day to deliver the "Krone" to the front door.

The elevator at Karl-Steiger-Straße 2 in Linz-Kleinmünchen was out of order for a total of twenty days - we reported on the situation. The lift is now working again and not only the residents are happy about it, but also "Krone" deliverer Lenda is relieved.

"Morning sport"
Because when the elevator was broken, the 40-year-old had to walk up and down ten floors every day. The residents - who would like to take this opportunity to thank the hard-working woman - have calculated that this amounted to 320 steps a day. In 20 days, this amounted to 6400 steps - at 4 o'clock in the morning.

"Luckily the lift is working again"
"It was very exhausting. I told a friend to please help me. Luckily, the elevator is now working again," says the friendly delivery woman, who has been making sure that the residents of the tower block have the "Krone" on their door mats on time for a year and a half.
