• Most of the village lies in a basin landscape; to the north, Lasek borders the Sieniawa Depression, also known as Brama Sieniawska.
• The terrain rises gently to the northwest towards Obroczna (740 m) and Przysłop (752 m above sea level).
• Lasek lies on the lower Lepietnica and along the railway line from Kraków to Zakopane. Nowy Targ railway station is 5 km away.
• An 11.63 km cycling route runs from Klikuszowa via Pyzówka to Lasek.

Two landforms are useful for orientation: much of Lasek lies in a basin landscape, while the terrain rises gently to the northwest. The elevations of Obroczna and Przysłop are located there. They differ in height by 12 metres: Obroczna reaches 740 m, and Przysłop 752 m above sea level. This means the surrounding area can be understood both in terms of its basin setting and its named elevations.

To the north, Lasek borders the Sieniawa Depression, also called Brama Sieniawska. The Lepietnica stream provides another point of reference: Lasek lies on its lower course. If you compare places by their landscapes, these details offer specific reference points without suggesting that any single landform describes the entire village.

Lasek grew from a hamlet belonging to Klikuszowa and developed during the colonisation of the mid-16th century. A document from 1616 records that Jan Pieniążek, the starost of Nowy Targ, founded the village on undeveloped land. Thus, both its development from the hamlet and the foundation recorded in the document are part of the village’s history. If you are interested in the historical context of a travel destination, you will find a specific name and year here as points of reference.
