Geological sections from gravel pits and coastal cliffs at Hindsholm, Funen, Denmark are described. By combining information from these sections at least three kineto‐stratigraphic drift units can he demonstrated. The oldest unit is represented by glacial drift and structures which are the result of an ice sheet moving from NE. The intermediate unit consists of glacial drift and structures formed by a movement from SW. The youngest unit is associated with a glacial movement from SSE. This last movement drumlinized preexisting kames and dislocated earlier glacial drifts. Younger kames and real drumlins were also formed at this stage. A stationary ice margin along the line Skoven ‐ Fyns Hoved ‐ Røsnas is proposed.
