A search for a British student who went missing while solo hiking in a Romanian mountain range has reached its 10th day.
University of Bristol student George Smyth, 18, was hiking in the Bucegi Mountains when he called mountain rescue services in distress on Nov. 23, People reported.
Smyth told search and rescue staff over the phone that he was suffering from hypothermia and exhaustion.
He is believed to have been heading to Bran Castle — marketed as “Dracula’s castle” to tourists, but not actually connected to the main character of Bram Stoker’s famous novel.
Mountain rescuers began searching in the following days. They recovered his backpack, which contained equipment and supplies, in the area he made the call, according to British newspaper The Times .
