John,

the route at least suggestes that "Urwichwost" is somewhere near
Oleszkowicze. A look at the according map from mapywig.org
("A45_B41_(XXVIII-19)_KIWERCE") shows multiple places in the vicinity
beginning with "Ur." = Urwisko, thus maybe Urwichwost is a corrupted
German version of one of these places, for instance of "Ur. Mosty" east
of Oleszkowicze.
