It’s in Norway.

There is a town in Norway named ‘Hell’.

The roads to Hell are not paved with good intentions. Just plain old bitumen.

Contrary to popular belief, return tickets are available.

Interestingly enough, there are cold days in Hell.

Occasionally, Hell even freezes over !.

(But that of course means a major improvement in chance for the proverbial snowball).

If you would like to go to Hell, you will find it here: Link

Where in Hell are you? Are there a lot of people in hell? Is Hell near Hades?

Cute article. I enjoyed it.

I thought this was a particularly funny quote from the website:

Hell (W of Flint?), Michigan - Go to Hell, Michigan
You CAN buy bats. Then you can take them OUT of hell. And the little grocery store sells those nasty twinkie products called "snowballs" so you can buy them for friends and make the obvious joke again there. Also, you and a friend can put your head in those neat painted plywood boards so it looks like one of you is satan, and the other is a victim of satans grasp. This is great for anyone who loves to pretend to be satan. Also, for the rest of your life you can say "been there, done that, bought the T-shirt" to anyone who tells you where to go.

I used to go to Hell quite regularly.... Hell was the name of my BBS. Ran it for 9 years (1991-2000), until call volume dropped so far that I wasn't even checking it myself more than twice a week. Darn Internet.

Been up that way with a ruck and a rifle on my back, snowshoes on my feet and acting like a sled dog to carry the heavy weapons. Very beautiful country though. Just too many damn mountains.

There is also a Lake that is called Hell in Iceland... and a more appropriate place for Hell I could not imagine.

Achhh! Audie Murphy references! Stop! I beg of you!
From what I have heard, Iceland is partying and pretty girls, sounds like Hell ain't a bad place to be!
