Gravity hill

Description

These places are known under the names "the mystic road", "hypnotic hill", "magnetic hill", "gravity road", etc., as in Cycling, the "false plain".

This optical illusion, when, due to topography (where the surrounding landscape in the form of trees, hills and mountains obscure the horizon, the surrounding objects create the illusion of a flat or tilted back space) small bias looks like a rise. That is the main factor creating the illusion of a full or partial lack of visibility of the horizon, which complicates the visual judgment of the inclination of the surface. Objects, which are usually perpendicular to the ground (e.g., trees, house walls, etc.), this place can actually deviate from the vertical.

In this place it seems that the objects themselves are moving uphill. Often takiya phenomena associated with gravitational and other anomalies, the influence of mystic powers, etc.
