Strynsvatnet
A long, narrow lake east of Stryn town, bordered by Route 15, with lake views and farms, and a prelude to the crossing of Strynefjell.
Strynsvatnet lies east of Stryn town. It stretches about 15 km and is wedged between high mountains in an east–west direction. Route 15 runs along the north shore toward Oppstryn and Strynefjell pass. Along the way you'll see lakeside farms, waterfalls, and snowy peaks reflected in the water, and on calm, clear days the lake surface is like a mirror. At the eastern end, around Oppstryn, are the Jostedalsbreen National Park Centre and the Hjelle Lakeside Hotel. Visitors can fish for trout and go boating on the lake, and some campsites rent small boats in summer. Most drivers simply pull over to take photos, which takes about half an hour.
