Traditionally, the hiker goes past the church built in 1904/05 over the courtyard of the restaurant "Tor zum Rennsteig" to the Werraufer. Here the "racer" dips his hiking stick into the river and sticks a stone from the bank into his pocket to throw it into the Selbitz in Blankenstein. Since 1990 it has been possible to hike the entire length of the Rennsteig and many hikers come to Hörschel every year to start or end their Rennsteig hike. With the construction of the "Rennsteig hiking house" in Hörschel, an information facility for hikers and visitors to Thuringia from near and far was created.

The former fire station is now the Rennsteighaus.

The year 1820 was decisive for the place. The Rennsteighaus became the target of all hikers
