===Fredericia avoiding line: Middelfart (Snoghøj) – Taulov===

The line into the main station continues as a steeply-graded branch to the harbour, with a reversal en route.
This east to west curve between the main line from København and routes to Esbjerg and the German frontier, is used by trains between København/Odense and Esbjerg/Kolding not calling at Fredericia
A tourist service with preserved railbuses operates in the summer between the main station and a quayside platform.

Some but not all Frederiksværkbanen train services continue approximately 0.5 km to the Hundested Havn station, connecting with an hourly vehicle passenger ferry to Rørvig. The [http://www.rejseplanen.dk/ Rejseplanen] journey planner does know about this service, but for some reason refuses to suggest it when connecting with the ferry and instead advises a walk from Hundested. The trains can, however, be found if you explicitly select "Hundested Havn st." as an endpoint (or even, perplexingly, "Hundested Havn (færge)"). Train times can also be found on the [http://www.hundested-roervig.dk/web/node/1 ferry company's timetables]. Note that there are seasonal variations.
This connection links the Øresundsbane from København airport with the classic main line to Roskilde.
