Rogaška and healthy mineral water
»Where you are now standing is a source of health and real divine power. Instead of Hippocrene you should drink Roitschocrene - the Rogaska spring that you see in front of you!« (Apollo, the 17th century legend about the origin of the Rogaska springs).
This magic power of the Rogaška Mineral water was first analyzed by chemists in 1572 and the springs gained a high level of popularity after the healing of count Peter Zrinski in 1665. The health resort started to develop in the 19th century under the patronage of the head of the Styrian government – count Ferdinand Attems. Amongst the many ilustrous guests some well-reputed persons of the 19th century Europe can be mentioned, including Emperor Ferdinand and Franz Liszt, the latter having held a concert in Rogaška Slatina.
Rogaška today is a magnificent health resort location that has become synonimous with health and well-being.
