Beschrijving
Sønder Lem Vig is originally an inlet, it is cut off from the Limfjord by an embankment that was build in 1876-77. Plans for draining the area were, however, never realized. A 200 m long canal connects the fjord with Sønder Lem Vig. In 1960 a pump house was built at the end of the canal to keep the water level in the inlet constant. The inlet itself, i.e. the open water, covers around 350 ha but reedbeds cover more than 150 ha, being especially dense on the southern and eastern banks. North and east of the inlet there are meadows and a little further north a few small woods with deciduous and coniferous trees.
The area is a breeding ground for ducks, waders and reedbed birds. For example Zomertaling, Slobeend, Dodaars, Kluut, Scholekster, Kievit, Watersnip, Tureluur, Kleine Plevier and Bontbekplevier. The reedbeds support Roerdomp, Waterral, Porseleinhoen, Baardman, Blauwborst and several pairs of Bruine Kiekendief. In the winter months small flocks of Wilde Zwaan and Kolgans can be seen, together with Grote Zaagbek, Nonnetje and Topper and if you are lucky Velduil.

Toegang
A car park at the pump station at Hostrupvej gives access to Sønder Lem Vig. From here there is a view over the water, especially if one follows the canal out to the inlet itself. An observation tower at the eastern end of Sønder Lem Vig gives a view over the reedbeds and the eastern section of the inlet. A good place in spring when bird migration has started and the breeding birds have become active. There is a good chance of spotting Baardman, Bruine Kiekendief and Zomertaling. Roerdomp is often heard in spring. The tower can be reached from Sønderlemvej, which runs parallel with the northern side of Sønder Lem Vig. From Sønderlemvej one can turn south onto a road signed “Vigen” to Bustrup Plantage, where one can leave the car and walk along the path through the wood to the observation tower at the end. There is another bird observation tower on the southern bank of Sønder Lem Vig. The tower can be accessed from Vester Egebjergvej which runs south of Sønder Lem Vig. One can park at the side of the road at the farmhouse about 1 km north of the village of Egebjerg. From here there is a walk of around 1 km out to the tower.
