The Buchkamm , incorrectly also Buchkamp , is a wooded ridge south of Oberwildenthal in the western Saxon Ore Mountains , the highest point of which is 951 m high. It extends from southwest to northeast not far from the Czech border. At the foot of the Buchkamm, the former Reichsstraße 93 led from Leipzig over the Hirschenstander Pass to Karlsbad , which is now only used as a forest road and cycle path ( Karlsroute ). A royal Saxon milestone stood there until the 1990s . The Butterweg runs southeast of the Buchkamm; a former smugglers' trail through which butter and other goods were smuggled between Bohemia and Saxony. Today it is used as a hiking trail.
The Große Bockau rises not far south of the Buchkamm on the Czech border.
In 1839 the “Whitsun Festival” mine was in operation on the Buchkamm.
