The Lochen is a mountain massif in the southwestern Swabian Alb, forming a section of the Albtrauf ridge above the Balingen district of Weilstetten. It is considered part of the so-called Balingen Mountains. The two main peaks are the Lochenstein (963.6 m above sea level) and the eastern Lochenhörnle (952.8 m above sea level), usually referred to simply as the Hörnle.
