Interesting Lithuania: Kruonis gravity hill

There is a place in Lithuania called gravity hill. This place creates the optical illusion of rolling uphill, although visually it looks the opposite.

The gravity hill is located near the Kruonis hydroaccumulation power plant, very close to the Maisiejūnai mound. 

At this place, everyone can experience this strange phenomenon: when we drive towards the gate at the bottom of this hill, it seems like we are going downhill, but when we stop the car and put it in neutral, the car starts rolling backwards - up the hill.

No one is able to solve this riddle of nature, it is probably just an optical illusion. One of the most important factors creating such an illusion is a blocked horizon. Without a horizon, it is very difficult for a person to determine the plane, since no reliable comparison can be made.
