Stryn and Strynselva are located in Indre Nordfjord in Sogn og Fjordane. Here you will find, among other things, the famous Briksdalsbreen glacier which is a glacier arm of the Jostedalsbreen glacier. In the Middle Ages, Stryn was written Strjon / Strion which probably means: The Flowing, with reference from the beautiful Strynselva. An expression that is well known is Fagre Stryn, much due to the beautiful nature in the area.
