Buchschirm, Mountain summit in Rhön region, Hesse, Germany

Buchschirm is a 745.2 m high mountain in the Rhön, east of Hilders in the Hessian district of Fulda. On its summit stand an observation tower with views to the west, north and into the Ulstertal, a memorial stone of the Rhönklub Hilders branch, the Kreuz des Ostens, and further south a telecommunications tower. On the southwestern slope lies the Battenstein basalt rock group with a chapel.

This location holds religious significance dating back to 1706 when a pilgrimage chapel was constructed on the site. A Stations of the Cross path was later established between 1755 and 1761, marking the mountain's growing importance as a spiritual destination.

The Battenstein, a basalt rock group at 629 metres on the southwestern slope, carries a name and the nearby field name Betteldasche that appear to be of Celtic origin; an old trade road, a side branch of the Ortesweg, ran through this area. The pilgrimage chapel St. Maria was built in 1706 under the Hilders-born pastor Johann Jakob Hartmann. Since 1958, Catholic children's and youth camps have given the mountain importance beyond the region.

The summit is accessible via marked hiking trails and offers clear orientation landmarks through its observation tower. Trail conditions vary depending on the season and weather, so visitors should prepare accordingly.

The Thomas-Morus-Haus and the Pater-Löslein-Hütte, run by Jugendwerk St. Michael, stand on the mountain's northwest slope. Catholic children's camps began here in 1958, when Capuchin friar Archangelus Löslein organised the first tent camps for boys on a meadow near the Battenstein; the KjG continued them until 1978.
