Border Crossings, or Transition Points, are locations where it is possible to cross between Zones on foot. Most of these crossings are unmarked places, in which case descriptive names not found in the game are used here.
Aldmeri DominionEdit
Baandari GateEdit
This gate connects Baandari Trading Post in Malabal Tor with the Northern Woods region of northwestern Reaper's March. When you pass through into Reaper's March, the Vinedusk Wayshrine will be marked on your map if you have not yet discovered it. Crossing the other way if you have not yet visited Malabal Tor will unlock Velyn Harbor Wayshrine.
Elsweyr GateEdit
This gate, in the northern part of Green Hall in Grahtwood, connects to Valenwood Gate in Northern Elsweyr. A burned Khajiiti villa can be seen past the rocks behind it. The tunnel to Reaper's March is located right next to the gate, and both of them are behind a larger wooden gate with Khajiiti banners, statues, and posts, as well as a dead Bosmer woman on top. Various tents surround the area, along with a capsized trading cart nearby. Passing through into Northern Elsweyr will unlock the Riverhold wayshrine, while crossing the other way will unlock the Haven Wayshrine if you have not yet visited Grahtwood.
During early alpha development, a map showed that the Tenmar Forest, rather than Reaper's March, was planned to have been a playable zone, and this gate would have connected to it.
Grahtwood TunnelEdit
This tunnel connects the northern part of Green Hall in Grahtwood with the southeastern part of Jodewood in Reaper's March. In Grahtwood, the tunnel is located just to the right of the Elsweyr Gate north of the town of Cormount, while the Reaper's March end is just southwest of the village of Willowgrove. When you pass through into Reaper's March, Vinedusk Wayshrine will be added to your map if you have not yet discovered it. Crossing the other way will unlock the Haven Wayshrine if you have not yet visited Grahtwood.

Crossing the other way will unlock the Haven Wayshrine if you have not yet visited Grahtwood.
Reaper's March Eastern GateEdit
Located north of Dune and just southeast of Fort Sphinxmoth, in the east of the Dawnmead region of Reaper's March, this gate is inoperable. While the intended destination of this gate is unknown, its positioning would suggest it is the reverse side of the Western Elsweyr Gate of Cyrodiil.

Bangkorai Northeastern GateEdit
This gate is found at Jackdaw Cove in the northeast of the Mournoth region of Bangkorai, and appears to lead into an inaccessible part of the Western Reach near the Deeping Drome. The gate itself cannot be used directly, but a cart standing just in front of it will take you to The Reach, next to North Markarth Wayshrine, which geographically is just across the mountain pass. A cart at the destination location in The Reach can be used to travel back to Bangkorai.
Bjoulsae BridgeEdit
This bridge connects the eastern end of the Gavaudon region of Stormhaven with the city of Evermore in Bangkorai. When you cross over into Bangkorai, you will enter directly into Evermore, marking both the city and its main Wayshrine on your map if you have not yet discovered them. Crossing the other way if you have not yet visited Stormhaven will unlock Koeglin Village Wayshrine.

Velothi PassEdit
This pass through the Velothi Mountains connects Fort Virak in the Zabamat region of northwestern Stonefalls with the Smokefrost Peaks in the southeast of The Rift. To reach the pass without going through Fort Virak, you can skirt the fort to the north and follow the ravine below the bridge. Once you pass under, you should see hills to your right which can be climbed to reach the other side. When you cross through into The Rift, Fallowstone Hall Wayshrine will be marked on your map if you have not yet discovered it. If you pass through the other way, Davon's Watch Wayshrine will be marked if you have not yet visited Stonefalls.
Neutral and DisputedEdit
Cyrodiil BridgesEdit
In southeast Cyrodiil, there are a number bridges crossing over rivers. Passing over the Corbolo River, a large drawbridge and a barricaded bridge named Crestbridge can be found leading into the Nibenay Basin. Over the Larsius River, there is a bridge connected to Bravil that leads to a large inaccessible gate, which may be connected to Nibenay Valley. Oddly, the door for it is a Dunmer architecture asset.
Cyrodiil Gate GarrisonEdit
The Cyrodiil Gate Garrison in southeastern Craglorn is ostensibly a Daggerfall Covenant entry point into Cyrodiil. However, the gate cannot be opened by players of any alliance, since Cyrodiil must be entered using the Alliance War interface. Geographically, it appears to link indirectly to the Northern High Rock Gate, and a cart to the Falkreath Hold dungeon can also be found nearby.

Northern Elsweyr-Blackwood GateEdit
This gate connects the High Savannah region of northeastern Northern Elsweyr with Niben Forest in western Blackwood. The Northern Elsweyr side is a traditional Khajiiti gate found south of Rimmen, uphill east of the Khenarthia Fragment, and north of Northern Elsweyr CE Treasure Map III. The Blackwood side is a large Imperial gate, part of the southwest arm of Borderwatch's wall and found west of Borderwatch Wayshrine.

A bridge on the east side of Pantherfang Chapel which is normally inaccessible from the zone map, where it lacks a gate. A more detailed version of the bridge is found inside the player house, where a gate is found between it in the house, though it is barred on one side. Furnishings can also not be placed on it. The pathway leads to the Nibenay Basin, and a long trail outlined in the zone shows that it goes north.
Portal to FargraveEdit

Found south of Southern Watch Wayshrine and southeast of the Eversnow Inn in Western Skyrim, this pass has been recently blocked off by a landslide. It appears to lead into Whiterun Hold, around the area of Rorikstead. The pathway is detailed on the map, and is not part of the River Hjaal found to the east.
