Hell stasjon
Hell's railway station. The Gods Expedition is the small building next to the railway, and the famous sign is on the wall towards the tracks. On the second floor of the station itself, there is a devil drawing in the window, most likely put there to entertain tourists. Regardless of its infernal name, the station itself is a sympathetic little wooden building worth photographing.
At the Steinmohaugen there are rock carvings that might be 6000 years old. Rock carving is helleristning in Norwegian.
There's unsurprisingly no church in Hell, but rather in the village of Lånke, 2 km to the east.
Separating Hell and Lånke from the airport and Stjørdal itself.
If the railway station isn't enough, you can also photograph road and street signs. Moreover, there is a "Hell" sign on the mountain (perhaps inspired by the "Hollywood" sign in Los Angeles but smaller), visible when arriving from the airport.
Bird sanctuary at the bay Vikan. Trondheimsfjorden is shallow around the mouth of Stjørdal River. At low tide a wide mudflat is uncovered, attracting wading birds.
Olav Engelbrektsson, the last Catholic archbishop of Norway, fled to this small fortress from his residence at the Nidaros Cathedral (Trondheim). He brought with him St. Olav's shrine with the earthly remains of St. Olav, Norway’s patron saint. In April 1537 the king finally managed to take the fortress and send Olav into exile in Belgium. His exile ended the opposition to the reformation in Norway.
A café in the mall.

A first class establishment with prices to match. Has a good range of business amenities given its proximity to the airport, and a restaurant and bar.
