"Gravity Hill", Shullsburg, WI
Approximately two miles out of town of Shllsburg, Highway U plunges down a steep hill, across a low area, and curves back up a steeper hill. Stop your car about three-quarters of the way down the first hill, just short of the 25 mph sign that announced the curve back up the other side. From here, U appears to drop considerably to the valley floor before rising again.
:idea: Place the car in neutral and you will be rolling backward up the hill, slowly at first then faster and faster!!!
The only place on Earth where cars move uphill with the shift lever in Neutral!!
Has to be experienced to be believed!!!

BEEN THERE! DONE THAT! CAN'T BELIEVE IT HAPPENED BUT IT DID! I would think it was an optical illusion, however we took pictures of vehicles that stopped at the dip in the road and it certainly looks like the vehicle backs uphill and it gains speed! Gotta try it to believe it...however, if I ever go back, I will take a carpenters level with me! |
