The Stadil Fjord is (despite the name) an approximately 1730 hectare freshwater lake , which is located about 5 km northwest of Ringkøbing and about two kilometers from the North Sea beach in Jutland, Denmark . The lake is a shallow lake with a maximum depth of just 2.5 meters. In the south-eastern part of the island lies the approximately 100 hectare publicly accessible island of Hindø , which is connected to the mainland by a small bridge. Stadil Fjord, Ringkøbing Fjord and Vest Stadil Fjord were originally a large contiguous area, but after drainage work the connection between them has been limitedFjords on a narrow channel from Vest Stadil Fjord to Stadil Fjord and the Vonå river , which flows into Ringkøbing Fjord. The Stadil Fjord also receives the water from the rivers Madum Å , Tim Å , Sund Å and Hover Å as well as some smaller streams. At the beginning of the 1990s, the lake was polluted by large amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus , which led to poor water quality. However, the lake was saved and is now one of the cleanest lakes in Denmark.
Ramsar area
