Rahachow, picturesquely situated at the confluence of the Dnieper and Drut rivers in the Gomel Region, is a city whose name in Belarus is inextricably linked to a single sweet delicacy: condensed milk. The local condensed milk factory, established in the 1930s, produces the country's most famous and iconic brand; its classic blue-and-white can is a staple in every Belarusian household, and the city has even erected a monument in the shape of this iconic tin. Beyond its dairy fame, Rahachow has a pleasant historical center with roots stretching back to the era of Kievan Rus. The extensive floodplains surrounding the meeting of the two rivers make the city a popular destination for nature lovers and water recreation enthusiasts.
