Taksetnakken (aka Storenakken) is a forest hill / small mountain by Eidså, and as the above picture shows - it falls "into the shadow" of the higher Svartetua. Nevertheless, this is a short and nice hike, and you'll get a good view towards Svartetua, the Storebøra massif (across Syvdseidet), Vorakinna and Syvdsalpane.
Taksetnakken (Norge 1:50,000: -, Økonomisk Kartverk: 408m, UTM 32 V 327183 6889950) has a primary factor of 99m, towards the higher parent mountain Svartetua (842m). The saddle (approx. UTM 32 V 327451 6889347) is found in the saddle (Løsetskaret) between Taksetnakken and Svartetua. Ref. Økonomisk Kartverk (5m contours), the saddle height is defined through a fixed point - 309m.
GPS measurement read 411m (on the ground), averaged over a 5-minute period (error margin +/- 1,6m). Note that map point 401m is not the high point.

Access
(all distances are approx. distances)
The nearest larger city is Ålesund. From Ålesund, follow highway E39 towards Bergen, and then RV61 towards Hareid. Take the Sulesund - Hareid ferry, and from Hareid, follow RV61 (roughly) 42Km to Årvika, 5,1km from Larsnes.
Take the Årvika - Koparneset ferry, and follow RV61 6,6km to Eidså. Turn left towards Syvden and drive 500m. Turn right onto a side road, and follow it 400m. There is a gravel road on your right-hand side which is the beginning of the route. There are a few large garage buildings on the left-hand side. Find parking outside the fence.
The route
Follow the gravel road 350m to the top of the hill. Turn left by a house and follow another road 200m along a field. From the end of the road, follow a forest path up to the antenna. Just before the antenna, you cross a wider path that runs up the west side of the mountain, and possibly - continues all the way to the top.
From the antenna, the path continues into the forest and then up Taksetnakken's south ridge (bypassing a steep ridge section). The path runs across sections of boggy terrain.
The top of Taksetnakken is marked by a signpost and a canister for the visitor's register.
