The Winding Trail is a project by Katrin Schönig and Paul Scraton, dedicated to the idea of adventures beyond the front door – whether far away or in our neighbourhood – and the idea of living as much of life outdoors as possible. These stories, photographs and collected odds and ends will hopefully give others ideas and inspiration for getting out there and having adventures big and – perhaps even more importantly – small.

About Katrin:
Born in Berlin, Katrin grew up on the Baltic coast of Germany before returning to the city between the fall of the Berlin Wall and reunification. A love of travel led her, in a roundabout way, to her day job as the director of the Circus Hotel in Berlin. Her photography has appeared in hidden Europe, Slow Travel Berlin, Elsewhere: A Journal of Place and more.
