Łazek

Łazek is a cone-shaped hill 557 metres above sea level, lying in the Central Sudetes, on the border of the Idzikowa Upland and the Upper Nysa Graben, not far from Nowy Waliszów.

Shape and composition

The hill has fairly steep slopes and a clearly marked, flat summit crowned by an impressive rock outcrop. It is built of metamorphosed carbonate rocks.

Rock outcrop on the southern slope

On the southern slope of Łazek there is an impressive conglomerate outcrop, regarded as a natural curiosity.

Waters around the hill

Łazek is bordered to the east and north by the Waliszowska Woda stream, and to the west and south by its left-bank tributary. The whole hill, including the slopes, is covered by lower montane spruce forest.

Nearby

A few kilometres away rise the Pasterskie Skały.

Closer by, on the other side of Nowy Waliszów, lies Dzicza Góra.
