According to a municipal plan from 2009, the Wieprz marks Strzyżowice’s eastern and northern boundary. The shape of the opposite bank is also part of the landscape: the river’s meanders make it look like a kind of peninsula. This reveals two distinct aspects of the river—as the town’s boundary and as a force shaping the bank.
