  H. A. Guerber — Myths of Northern Lands — Chapter 19   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
This realm, which was supposed to be situated under the earth, could only be entered after a painful journey over the roughest roads in the cold, dark regions of the extreme North.
This formed the boundary of Nifl-heim, over which was thrown a bridge of crystal arched with gold, hung on a single hair, and constantly guarded by the grim skeleton Mödgud, who made every spirit pay a toll of blood ere she would allow it to pass.
Within the gate, amid the intense cold and impenetrable darkness, was heard the seething of the great caldron Hvergelmir, the rolling of the glaciers in the Elivagar and other streams of Hel, among which were the Leipter, by which solemn oaths were sworn, and the Slid, in whose turbid waters naked swords continually rolled.

 HEL   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The terrible river called Gjoll is the boundary of Hel and to cross it one has to pass over a crystal bridge arched with gold, and held in place by a single strand of hair.
The bridge is guarded by a grim skeleton named Modgud, who demands a toll of blood from everyone who wants to pass over the bridge.
Seething glaciers can be heard breaking and reforming as they pour out of the huge cauldron Hvergelmir, and into the rivers Leipter, by which oaths are sworn, and the river Slid, in which swords constantly turn in its dark waters.
