Percent Map travel guide (2026-09-26): Hike Across Borders: An Unassuming Mountain Trek

My husband and I set out from Austria's serene Carinthian village of Feistritz, where we enjoyed a hearty breakfast at the historic Gasthof Alte Pos. As we hiked through the lush Alpine pastures, we paid no mind to the signs marking Italian territory; cows grazed freely across both countries as if boundaries didn't exist. With clear skies and mild temperatures in September, it's an ideal time to trek through this magnificent region, where nature transcends political borders.
