Firhøj station is a railway station serving the settlements of Firhøj and Munkerup near Gilleleje in North Zealand, Denmark.

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.

History

The station opened in 1916 as the Helsingør-Hornbæk railway line from Helsingør along the coast of the Øresund to Hornbæk was continued from Hornbæk station onwards along the coast to Gilleleje.

In 1997, two trains collided frontally in a head-on collision after one passed a red signal leaving Firhøj station. Both drivers were killed.
