Hell Station
Hell stasjon
A small village station whose name means 'hell', where the old 'Hell Freight' sign is a fun photo spot visitors can't skip.
Hell is a small village about 30 kilometres east of Trondheim, near the airport. Its name meant 'rock cliff' in Old Norse, but it is spelled the same as the English word for the underworld. An old sign at the railway station reads 'Hell Gods-expedition' (in Norwegian, roughly 'freight office', which visitors read as 'the gods' expedition to hell'), and it has become a famous photo spot. In winter, there is a joke about hell freezing over. Every September the Hell Blues Festival is held here. A regional train takes about 30 minutes, making it an easy stop on the way to the airport.
