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.

It is but just to say that the boys did not share my hopes, nor did
brought up. It was their world, and the cave, to which we gave the name

My dear wife and I both felt that age would soon creep on us, and we
and end our days here, some one of us would out-live the rest, and this
could not get rid of. It made me pray to God that He would save us all
with no one to hear our last words, or lay us in the earth when.
