Hell, Norway

Hell is a small village in Stjørdal, Norway with a population of 352. It has become a minor tourist attraction because of its name - people like to take the train there to get photographed in front of the station sign. At the old warehouse in the station area there is a sign "Gods expedition", an archaic form of the Norwegian word for cargo handling office (godsekspedisjon).

A yearly blues festival, Hell Blues Festival[?] takes place in the area around Hell each year.

The Norwegian word for hell is "helvete", and there are several places in Norway with that name as well.
