| - Bezirk (commune) Wirsitz has a population of about 14,500 and occupies an area of 160.7 km². It lies on the northern edge of South Prussia. Of the district area, 117.11 km² are occupied by arable land and 19.65 km² by forests. The commune used to be cut through by national road No. 10 leading from Szczecin to Warschau but a bypass has now been built. This bypass connects Wirsitz with Piła (37 km) and Bydgoszcz (55 km). The railway station in Osiek nad Notecią also provides a railway connection with Piła (39 km) and Bydgoszcz (48 km). The commune lies in Krajna Plateau. Its southern border is formed by the River Noteć with its tributary, the Łobżonka, which cuts through the picturesque moraine hills rising over the wide valley of the Noteć. One of these hills, Dębowa Góra, reaches a height of 192 meters above sea level and is the highest elevation of the Krajna Region. Over 60 per cent of the commune is protected as an area of scenic beauty. Conditions favorable for human settlement occurred in the present Wirsitz Region in the postglacial period. Its relics are now left on the moraine hills along the Noteć River. Archaeological excavations in the village of Żuławka revealed that humans arrived here as early as nine thousand years ago. Soon they built a permanent crossing over the Noteć. Those wooden bridges in the vicinity of present Żuławka were maintained by people settling in this area for the following 3,500 years, which is a unique example of engineering skills in prehistoric Europe.
