Magnetic Hill, Gravity hill in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.
At the northwestern edge of Moncton, Magnetic Hill creates an optical illusion where cars appear to roll uphill when placed in neutral position.
In the 1930s, local resident Muriel Lutes established an ice cream stand at Magnetic Hill, marking the beginning of its development as a tourist destination.
The Mi'kmaq people recognized this location before settlers arrived, referring to the geographical feature as the magic mountain in their traditional stories.
Visitors can experience the gravity-defying illusion by positioning their vehicles at the designated starting point and following the provided instructions from staff.
The one-kilometer road segment near Lutes Mountain generates an optical effect that makes water appear to flow upward against natural gravitational forces.
