Despite the fact that the city is called Vitebsk, it stands on the bend of the Western Dvina, a rather large river that flows into the Baltic.
The name of the city comes from the river, Vitba, at the confluence of the Dvina.
Even 20 years ago, it would be rather difficult to explain to the visitor why the city is so called.
Really in honor of this small stream.
A brook flowed on the site of a large river in the past, fording which could be practically anywhere.
Reclamation works in the upper river led to the fact that only the name remained of the river.
And in the early 80s, rumors about what Vitbu would do again as a full-fledged river seemed fantastic.
However, in recent years, dramatic changes have occurred in the city.
And an alien from the past risks simply not knowing the places where he rolled downhill in childhood.
But the fault is the dam built in the lower reaches of the river.
She dramatically transformed the entire landscape and now the river looks like a river again.
Yes, it did not reach its former greatness - the depth of the slope along which it flows can be imagined as it was in the past.
But still, now it is a great place for recreation and recreation within the city.
Bicycle and walking paths stretch almost throughout the city limits.
You can find a place for roller-skating or cycling, as well as equipped gazebos for picnics.
And the place at the dam was chosen by wild ducks and seagulls.
