Hornbæk station is a railway station serving the seaside resort town of Hornbæk on the north coast of 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]
History
The station opened on 22 May 1906 to serve as terminus of the new railway line from Helsingør along the coast of the Øresund to Hornbæk. It caused the town to be invaded by tourists. In 1916, the railway was continued from Hornbæk station onwards along the coast to Gilleleje.
