Hornslet station is a railway station serving the railway town of Hornslet on the peninsula of Djursland in Jutland, Denmark. The station opened in 1877 with the opening of the Aarhus-Ryomgård section of the Grenaa Line. The train services are currently operated by the railway company DSB which runs frequent local train services between Aarhus and Grenaa as part of the Aarhus Commuter Rail service.

History[]

The station opened on 1 December 1877 as the railway company (ØJJ) opened a branch line from Aarhus to Ryomgård on the Randers-Ryomgaard-Grenaa Line from Randers to Grenaa. Just a few years later the trains starting running directly between Grenaa and Aarhus, with the Ryomgård-Randers section being reduced to a branch line used mostly for rail freight transport until it was closed altogether on 2 May 1971.
