My buddy and I were discussing the allowed blood alcohol content for driving (purely hypothetically) and how it varies across countries and then we stumbled upon the question in the title. Would be curious to hear if you guys know any good examples.

It’s legal to trespass on other people’s property (outdoors, but even if it’s fenced in), while you’re in pursuit of a migrating swarm of bees you own.
It’s generally legal for everyone to enter any privately-owned woodland, and generally illegal to deny access to it or build a fence around it. The land owner is responsible for the safety of the paths. There are exceptions, like protected new growth, or especially protected nature reserves, but those are very few. In Germany, it’s completely normal to be able to roam anywhere in nature, which in some other countries just isn’t possible at all.
In the US, a few states have laws like this, for example in New Hampshire you can travel through privately owned wilderness. You are allowed to ban hunting or other activities on your land, though.
Hunting right is tied to the land ownership in Germany. If you own land open to the public, you have to (yes, you have to!) hunt yourself or lease this right (and obligation) to someone else.
This is more European thing. At least it’s same or similar in Poland and Scandinavia. In Poland you can own a forest but you’re not allowed to fence it nor deny entry and mushroom picking. Also in Poland it’s not even that easy to cut a tree. Even in your own backyard. Unless it’s a fruit tree.
In scandinavia its even more open than in Germany, as you are allowed to camp anywhere in nature as long as you keep 200m or so distance from any house (or something like that, if you go there, check it beforehand)
