    The Schwalbe, a German WWII torpedo boat, sits upright at 25 metres off Bornholm. You'll find it well preserved, with the bow gun still in place and the stern blasted open. It’s a good wreck for experienced divers comfortable with colder water, offering plenty of nooks for cod and blennies to hide in. Visibility here can be tricky, but on a good day, the penetration into the engine room is manageable for those with proper training.
