geography

Buchhof is located on State Road 2152 .

Southwest of Buchhof is the "Auf der Öd" corridor, a depression with many large and small ponds. It is a typical example of mineral wet soil or floating soil in which the water table is 40 to 80 cm deep. This type of soil is followed by a thin, dark brown top layer of gray, rusty soil. Evenly bluish-gray layers - the actual glide horizon - are located below in the area of ​​the groundwater. These soils have moderately productive meadows, interspersed with sour grasses, mosses and rushes. They are depleted and poor in nutrients of any kind.

In spring the whole area is covered with bright yellow marsh marigolds. Numerous birds, snakes, toads, frogs, pond newts and other wild animals find refuge here.

To the east of the village of Buchhof lies a large forest area that is part of the Frauenstein, which is visible from afar. Its highest point is the Signalberg (887 m). The ruins of the Frauenstein Castle are also located on the Frauenstein (835 m above sea level). Buchhof is located in the Upper Palatinate Forest Nature Park , about five kilometers north of the center of Winklarn.

Neighboring towns are Gaisthal in the north and Aschahof in the south .
