Holy Hill traffic

Holy Hill brings the county to your roads

The Basilica at Holy Hill sits just outside Hubertus, and it draws visitors year-round with a heavy peak through the fall colour season. For residents, that means weeks of slow traffic on narrow, winding roads that were not built for it.

Slow traffic on leaf-covered roads has a specific effect on vehicles. Wet leaves get picked up in wheel arches and packed behind mud flaps, and leaf tannin stains light paint and blocks cowl drains. Stop-start driving on hills means more brake use, more brake dust, and more of that dust embedding into wheels and lower panels.

It also means wet leaves tracked into cabins, which stain carpet as they dry. October is the month to book a Hubertus vehicle if it does that season every year.

Friess Lake and the summer profile

Friess Lake sits in the community and gives Hubertus a lake-vehicle pattern in summer — wet gear on seats, sand in carpet, sunscreen on hard surfaces — at a smaller scale than the Lake Country towns to the south.

The combination of a lake summer and a Holy Hill autumn means Hubertus vehicles can go from sand to leaf tannin in the space of two months, and the honest advice is not to detail in between. Do it once, properly, at the end of autumn.

Kettle Moraine roads

Hubertus sits in the heart of the Kettle Moraine, and the terrain means steep, winding two-lane roads with broken shoulders and heavy tree cover.

Steep roads mean more lateral movement in the cabin, so loose debris migrates under seats and into gaps rather than staying on the floor. Tree cover means sap in summer and shade that keeps paint damp longer, giving anything that lands on it more time to bond.
