Firhøj station is a railway station serving the settlements of Firhøj and Munkerup near Gilleleje in North Zealand, Denmark.[1]
The station is located on the Hornbæk Line from Helsingør to Gilleleje. The train services are currently operated by the railway company Lokaltog which runs frequent local train services between Helsingør station and Gilleleje station.[2]
