Due to its name, Hell Station has become a tourist attraction. The station's freight building still bears the old sign saying Hell Gods-Expedition. In Norwegian, Gods-Expedition (archaic) or godsekspedisjon (modern) means freight service or cargo handling.[5] This sign is a popular photo opportunity for foreign tourists, and especially in the summer months, it is not unusual that foreigners, when discovering the sign, evacuate the train in order to get a photo. Whilst associated with the religious concept Hell by English-speakers, the name Hell derives from Old Norse hellir, which means cave. The Norwegian equivalent to English hell is hel or, more commonly, helvete (compare with Old English hellewīte).
It was either that or high water. All seriousness aside though we drove to Hell to get photos there. The name Hell stems from the Old Norse word hellir, which means "overhang" or "cliff cave". It has a more used homonym in modern Norwegian that means "luck". However, it was not "luck" that we found. After visiting this spot and ready to leave, I noticed our rental car had a flat tire. The car had no spare tire as most do not these days. I called the rental service line and they sent out a tow truck driver from Trondheim. He pronounced the tire "unfixable" and put the car onto his flatbed truck. We got into the truck and he drove us to a BMW dealership and unloaded the car there. After waiting in the dealership for over an hour they said they did not have a tire for it and called the rental car company to bring us a different car. A unique Norwegian experience, but we had enough of Hell for one day.
