The Necker is a 32 km long river of the pre-Alps in the eastern part of the Toggenburg and right tributary of the Thur . It rises near the Ofenloch , first flows through a remote, deeply cut, wildly romantic forest gorge and finally flows into the Thur at Lütisburg . The Necker and its valley are the namesake of the new municipality of Neckertal, which was created on January 1, 2009 from the merger of Brunnadern , St. Peterzell and Mogelsberg .
