Peak hike to Tjuvåskampen
After approx. 1 km and a total elevation gain of 300 metres, you will see the cairn at the peak standing at 812 m above sea level. The topographic panorama shows the name of most of the peaks and hills visible on the horizon.
On a clear day, you can see all the way to Gaustadtoppen to the west, and Norefjell, Vassfaret, Vangsfjell, Synnfjellet, Jotunheimen and Rondane to the east.
To the south is Torsæterkampen, which the highest peak in Østre Toten at 841 m above sea level.
After a well-deserved break at the top, the trip continues down the ridge. As you reach a small crest, the scenery opens up on the western side of Tjuvåstjernet and offers beautiful views with a glimpse of Mjøsa and Totenvika. Also in view is the lush Toten landscape around Balke church where the pilgrims’ path meanders from the Kolbu villages and across to Mjøsstranda.
Halfway along the crest, at an approx. 100 elevation loss from the top, turn off from Totenåsenstien and onto the blue-marked trail heading left in direction Hutjerna which is located along the route between Oksbakken and Langsætra. After a steep downhill section across marshland and through a fir-tree forest, you have reached the road. Continue for some 1.5 km back to your car.
