List of gravity hills


This is a list of gravity hills and magnetic hills around the world.
A gravity hill is a place where a slight downhill slope appears to be an uphill slope due to the layout of the surrounding land, creating the optical illusion that water flows uphill or that a car left out of gear will roll uphill. Many of these sites have no specific name and are often called just "Gravity Hill", "Magnetic Hill", "Magic Road" or something similar.

coordinates:
  • Proti village - Analipseos Monastery road, mount Pangaion, Serres, Central Macedonia. The spot where the effect starts is marked by signs painted on the road surface. This is a most convincing site: for a distance of about 40 meters, the uphill-going road changes inclination to become very slightly downhill, before it becomes uphill again. Within this stretch of the road, the car will move slowly on its own, and then it will come to a halt. What makes the site more striking than others is that the general direction of the spontaneous movement is clearly towards the higher ground, that is, towards the ascending slope of the mountain and the monastery.
coordinates:
  • Just after the exit of a small tunnel, near Veroia, Imathia regional unit, Central Macedonia. Caution is advised, as, due to possible traffic exiting the tunnel, this is a somewhat risky spot to stop the car at, in order to experience the effect.
