Search continues for missing Czech tourist

The search continues for a Czech tourist who has gone missing in Slovakia’s Tatra Mountains. The man was reported missing on Friday and is believed to have got lost in bad weather after he and another hiker parted ways on their way down a treacherous mountain slope. Three other Czechs got lost in a snow-storm on Saturday but stayed together and managed to find their way back to home base on Sunday morning after spending a night out in the open. The Slovak mountain rescue service has called a high degree avalanche alert and has warned tourists not to venture out until the weather improves. Heavy snow is expected in the course of the next two days.
