Hell, Norway

Hell[3] (Urban East Norwegian: [ˈhɛlː], Trøndersk: [ˈheʎ]) is a village in Stjørdal Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway.

Hell currently has a grocery store, gas station, a fast food shop, and a retirement home.

The village of Hell has become a minor tourist attraction because of its name, as visitors often have their photograph taken in front of the station sign.

The name Hell stems from the Old Norse word hellir, which means "overhang" or "cliff cave".

Among English-speaking tourists, popular postcards depict the station with a heavy frost on the ground, making a visual joke about "Hell frozen over".
