Stryn

Nordfjord and the valleys running inland define much of Stryn — agriculture, hydropower and tourism have developed in the narrow land between the fjord and steep mountains. The town of Stryn stands at the mouth of the Strynelva, on Norway’s west coast. Jostedalsbreen National Park reaches into the municipality and protects part of mainland Europe’s largest glacier; Briksdalsbreen is one of its best-known glacier arms. Settlements continue beside deep glacial lakes towards Olden and Loen, where the Loen Skylift climbs towards Mount Hoven. Olden’s wooden Old Church, dating from 1759, recalls the district’s long-settled valleys. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Stryn and Nordfjord.
