Geocache Description:


A gravity hill, or road, is a place, usually located on or among the hills, where people experience an optical illusion and see a slight downhill slope as a slight uphill slope. In such places, a ball can appear rolling up the hill, and spilt water will easily run uphill. There are at least 70 gravity roads in the world, of which 42 are in America. You can make an experiment yourself if you stop your car right after the exit towards Polis moving out of Droushia. A lot of people come here to see how optical illusion plays a trick with what we see, and it always works. If you cycle here then you will have already noticed it being a struggle to cycle downhill or need brakes to go uphill! If you arrive by car then stop parallel to the road and decide if you are facing up or downhill and then put your car in neutral, take the handbrake off and see which way it takes you.

To log this cache please send us
