The Swedish Stone Nature Monument is located in the north-western part of the Szczecin Landscape Park "Puszcza Bukowa". It is located in the Stare Czarnowo commune, in the Gryfino poviat. It is situated by Droga Chojnowska, near the fork of the yellow Trail to the Swedish Stone from Szczecin's Podjuchy housing estate and the green Trail of Woja Żelisław from the Zdroje Forest Park.

Szwedzki Kamień was entered into the register of nature monuments by the Resolution of the Stare Czarnowo Commune Council of October 25, 2004. It has an impressive size, a circumference of 970 cm and a height of 170 cm. This boulder is a plagioclase-biotite gneis, pink-gray with a pegmatite vein. It has deep frost cracks. Its name refers to a nearby mill that was used by the Swedes during the Thirty Years' War. They used it to make gunpowder. Despite the fact that the place changed its owners and its destiny later, the name of the Swedish Mill was adopted, and the erratic boulder was given the name of the Swedish Stone.

It is proven that the hills on which the Forest is located were created as a result of the ice sheet that once existed here, or commonly known as a glacier. Numerous erratic boulders were moved along with the glacier from the areas of today's Scandinavia. Therefore, one of the erratic boulders was named after the glacier and the place where it probably comes from - Swedish Stone. It is a pink-gray, granoplastic erratic boulder (plagioclase-biotite gneiss) with a pegmatite vein, 910 cm in circumference and 180 m high, with deep frost cracks.
The boulder is located on a small hill near Szwedzki Bruk (Chojnowska Road) about a kilometer south of Szwedzki Młyn. You can get there by following the green trail from Lake Szmaragdowe, or the red trail and then the green trail from the estate. Bukowy (having previously visited the Chojna stronghold and Szwedzki Młyn).
