"Magnetbakken“ er et optisk bedrag og skyldes ikke noget magnetisk i undergrunden eller lignende.
Når man kører mod havet, ser det ud som om en bil -selv i frigear - kan køre op ad en lille bakke, men i virkeligheden kører den nedad.

Magnetbakken blev opdaget i 1974 af en journalist og turistchef Finn Nielsen og dette medførte meget skriveri i den danske presse.
Denne atraktion er kendt af indbyggerne på Bornholm men ikke omtalt i nogen turistbrochure.
Magnetbakken er på Kobbevej, Bornholm. N55 11.006 E014 58.195 - N55 11.038 - E014 58.279


"Magnetic Hill" is an optical illusion and caused no magnetic underground or the like.
When driving towards the sea, it looks like a car - itself in neutral gear - can drive up a small hill, but in reality it is driving downhill.

The magnetic hill was discovered in 1974 by a journalist and tourism manager Finn Nielsen and this led to a lot of writing in the Danish press.
This attraction is known by the inhabitants of Bornholm but not mentioned in any tourist brochure.

Magnetic Hill, is located at Kobbevej, Bornholm N55 11.006 E014 58.195 - N55 11.038 - E014 58.279
