Hornbækbanen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hornbækbanen is a local passenger railway north of Copenhagen in Denmark, part of the Lokalbanen system. It runs along the coast of Øresund between Helsingør and Gilleleje, through an area with many holiday homes. The name Hornbækbanen refers to the town Hornbæk about halfway between Helsingør and Gilleleje. The length of the railway is 25 km.

Hornbækbanen operates a fairly intensive timetable with light DMUs working a fixed 20-minute frequency most of the day. Most passengers connect from Kystbanen regional trains at Helsingør; transfers to and from Gribskovbanen are also possible at Gilleleje.
