Czech Police search for missing man Jan Hóta in Bohemian Karst

Police in the Czech Republic are searching for Jan Hóta, a man from Kladno who disappeared while walking in the Bohemian Karst region. He was last heard from on September 27, when he spoke with his brother.

At the time of his last contact, he was near the Mexiko quarry in the Beroun region and planned to walk through the Bohemian Karst, an area he reportedly knows very well. He has since become unreachable.

Authorities describe Hóta as approximately 160 to 165 centimeters tall, with a medium build, grey eyes, and grey hair with a grey stubble beard. He is estimated to be between 65 and 70 years old. When he was last seen, he was wearing dark trousers, a red jacket, a dark t-shirt, dark shoes, and a brown hat. He was also carrying a red backpack with a green sleeping mat attached.
