Best Hikes to Ofenloch Gorge

Tips

  • The oven hole is in the Grand Canyon of eastern Switzerland. The Necker, which is still very young here, falls around 100 m over the Nagelfluh rock face and then winds its way through the spectacular gorge. You can get to the Ofenloch either via the Schwagalp or via the Mistelegg and the Ampferenboden.
    This highlight is at the bottom of the gorge and can only be reached from the Ampferenboden side via Necker-Bach. The waterfall shown in many photos (see September highlight) is not here (!), but one floor higher and only accessible from the upper dashed path, not from the lower gorge path.

  • Deep gorges, caves, waterfalls, Nagelfluh walls, spectacular paths - an absolute highlight (provided you are sturdy and somewhat vertigo-free).

  • Incredibly impressive - mighty, almost magical - certainly one of the greatest places ever.
