Lochen, Mountain summit in Baden-Württemberg, Germany
The Lochen mountain reaches an elevation of 963.6 meters and features two distinct peaks: Lochenstein and the eastern Lochenhörnle at 952.8 meters.
Archaeological excavations in the early 19th century uncovered artifacts from the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age settlements on the high plateau.
The Lochenstein summit displays a cross on exposed rock, representing a tradition more common in alpine regions than in the Swabian Jura mountains.
Hikers can reach the summit through a steep path starting from Gründle at Lochenpass, requiring approximately 20 minutes to cover 100 meters of elevation.
The Lochen area contains iron ore mining tunnels near Hossingen, where deposits were extracted for their minimal sulfur and phosphorus content.
