A naval mine is displayed in the harbour in Svanshall.

Its a big mine approximately 1m in diameter.
There is no info about the mine but proberbly it had floaded ashore and got defused by swedish military.
It looks like Moored contact mines from Germany, generally this mine type is set to float just below the surface of the water or as deep as five meters. A steel cable connecting the mine to an anchor on the seabed prevents it from drifting away.
Location restrictions:
There is no restriction it's open to the general public with no entry fees.
