Geography

The western border of the municipal area is formed by the river Randow, in the north the area of the small town of Penkun in Western Pomerania borders on Casekow. From the west the terrain rises from the Randowbruch over a forested terminal moraine (Blumberger Wald) by about 40 meters. Numerous small lakes and ponds lie in the depressions of the hilly area. The main village of Casekow lies on the Landgraben, which first flows northeast, turns southwest at Tantow and flows into the Westoder at Gartz (Oder).
