Percent Map travel guide (2026-09-25): Discover Hidden Alpine Treasures This Summer

Last summer, I found myself exploring the serene Haldensee in Austria's Tannheimer Tal valley. Though the lake was a bit too chilly for swimming, the hiking trails and nearby mountain huts offered warmth through hearty meals and stunning vistas. The journey down with grazing cattle added an enchanting touch to the already beautiful scenery. If you're visiting in September, expect crisp mornings; pack layers and savor the fading summer while enjoying alpine delights before winter sets in.
