The Prestaksla Nature Reserve (Norwegian: Prestaksla naturreservat) is located on the Prestneset headland in the municipality of Molde in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.[1]
The area received protection in 2010 in order to protect an important forest area.[2] The area has broadleaf deciduous forest mixed with pine forest.[2] The broadleaf deciduous forest primarily contains hazel and some elm. On the wooded mountainside below Prestaksla there is a partially old-growth pine forest.
The reserve is located close to Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson's childhood home at the Nesset Parsonage.[3]
