The car still goes uphill as usual on this road when the engine is turned off

The Dokkaebi road was discovered by a driver when he stopped at the bottom of the slope to go to the toilet, when he returned, he saw his car moving uphill even though the engine was off. It is hypothesized that there is a strong magnetic field underground that attracts cars with many metal parts going up, but when tested with a water bottle, the same phenomenon occurs.

It was not until later that people could explain why this phenomenon happened, because this road often occurs refraction of light. On days when it doesn't rain, people going here will have the illusion that they are going uphill but in fact they are going downhill. This logically explains the fact that water bottles are made of plastic but can still roll backwards uphill.

Although the mystery has been solved, tourists are still very interested and want to visit this road when coming to Jeju.
