Horgen is a railway station in Switzerland, situated on the banks of Lake Zürich in the town of Horgen. The station is located on the Lake Zürich left bank railway line and is served by lines S2 and S8 of the Zürich S-Bahn.[1][2][3]
The station provides an integrated transfer facility with the buses of the Zimmerberg bus line, which operate from a bus station immediately adjacent to the railway station. Ships of the Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft call at a pier on the lakeside immediately adjacent to the station, whilst the Horgen–Meilen car ferry operates from a terminal some 600 metres (2,000 ft) to the south-east along the lakeside promenade.
Horgen station should not be confused with the nearby, but higher level, Horgen Oberdorf railway station, which is on the Thalwil–Arth-Goldau railway. The two stations are approximately 0.9 kilometres (0.56 mi) apart on foot.
