A puddle near the Nelisweg in Helle

Helle, known as G'n Hèl in Limburgish, is a hamlet in the municipality of Nuth in the province of Limburg, the Netherlands. It is one of the so-called Bovengehuchten, or Upper Hamlets, of Nuth. It is located between the village of Schimmert and the hamlet Terstraten.

The name Helle probably originates from helde, or hill. This could be a reference to the many hills and hollow ways near the hamlet.

South of Helle flows the stream Platsbeek through a varied landscape of forest, grassland and puddles.
