 Stryn municipality lies innermost in Nordfjord where the mountains ascend to the glacier. It has a population of 6,842, roughly 3,000 of whom live in Stryn town centre. Stryn covers an area of 1.382 square kilometres.
Agriculture and fishing, small-scale industry and tourism are the most important means of making a living in Stryn.
The municipality comprises several separate communities. At the far end of the fjord lie Loen and Olden with their valleys leading towards the Jostedalsbreen glacier. If you travel further out along the fjord you come to Innvik and Utvik. Straight across the fjord from here lie Nordsida and Markane.
 There are lots of activities on offer, many of the most exciting ones linked to the glacier with its summer ski centre and glacier walks. Tourists have been coming to these communities since the 1860s and there is a long tradition of looking after visitors. The linden leaves in the municipal crest are there because of the fact that Northern Europe's largest linden wood is situated in Flostranda in Stryn.
