Percent Map travel guide (2026-09-25): Borderless Trails: Hiking Across Three Alps Kingdoms

Exploring the tranquil Alpine pastures of Feistritz, I found that national borders barely registered among the lush meadows and soaring peaks. Locals treated signs indicating state lines like any other roadside marker, with a casual nod to history but no barriers to the natural beauty around them. If you're in the mood for a serene hike where mountains and forests take precedence over maps and borders, now is an excellent time to venture out as September’s cooler temperatures make for comfortable mountain excursions in Austria.
