Das Ofenloch ist der Grand Canyon der Ostschweiz. Der hier noch ganz junge Necker stürzt rund 100 m tief über die Nagelfluh-Felswand und windet sich dann durch die spektakuläre Schlucht.
Zum Ofenloch gelangt man von Hemberg über die Mistelegg durch das hintere Neckertal zum Ampferenboden. Hier lohnt es sich, die Weite des Neckers zu geniessen. Nun gilt es die rund 300 Höhenmeter zur Alp Neuwald zu bewältigen, bevor es dann wieder runter zu den ersten Neckerzuflüssen auf rund 1170 müM geht. Der Blick in die Schlucht und das Ofenloch ist imposant! Von hier wandert man auf dem gleichen Weg zurück nach Hemberg oder weiter über Ellbogen nach Ennetbühl.
