A blind and deaf 110-year-old man says he made the journey of a lifetime to flee the Taliban– walking across Europe on a long path to freedom.

Abdul Qadir Azizi, of Afghanistan, spent eight months trekking nearly 3,000 miles to Germany with his family to escape their violent hometown, Baghlan, according to reports.

He arrived made it to Passau, Bavaria, on Tuesday night, and is believed to be the oldest refugee to arrive in Germany since it opened its doors to the thousands of refugees.

“What we know is that the man is apparently blind and deaf, but he was able to walk with a cane,” federal police spokesman Werner Straubinger told NBC News.

When German officials asked Azizi’s family when he was born, they said Jan. 1, 1905.

“But even if the man is only 90 years old, his flight is an amazing achievement,” Straubinger told The Telegraph.
