Parsetjärns skans, Military fortification in Dals-Ed Municipality, Sweden

The fortification contains two sections positioned on opposite sides of a lake, connected by stone blocks forming an anti-tank barrier system.

Swedish military engineers constructed this defense structure between 1940 and 1943 to prevent potential German forces from advancing through Sweden after Norway's invasion.

The fortification represents Swedish military engineering practices during World War II, incorporating concrete bunkers and strategic positioning near the Norwegian border.

Visitors can access the northern section of the fortification throughout the year, with parking spaces and information boards available at the site.

The defense complex includes thirteen shooting trenches and a specialized kg-hatt bunker designed for machine gun deployment in close combat situations.
