The beautiful Hervenknappen peak is situated in the Totenåsen hills in Østre Toten, 784 metres above sea level. From the summit you can see vast expanses of the inland region of eastern Norway. In fact, from the top of Hervenknappen you can see more of Norway than from most other mountain peaks in the country.
- Looking east, you can see as far as Sälen in Sweden.
- The view to the west is of Vassfaret and Norefjell.
- Turning towards the north, you can enjoy the vistas of the Hemsedalsfjellene, Jotunheimen and Rondane mountain ranges.

You can access Hervenknappen in two ways:
