Teleportation? That would kill the hiking simulator vibe!
(Otherwise my favourite system comes from Daggerfall Unity, where there is a mod that lets your character automatically, in real time, follow roads until the next fork/intersection. With an option for time compression that really hits the sweet spot of being explicit travel without being tedious.)
The mods I’ve seen add a selectable list and scale out how many locations you’re allowed to save based on your associated magic skill.
So it’s both a boon to quality of life and still relatively balanced and not too overpowered.
