THE LEGEND LIVES ON
According to legend, ROI’s spring was created by the Greek mythological winged horse Pegasus. Legend has it that Pegasus, instructed by Apollo, struck his hoof upon the earth at Rogaška and opened up the Roitschocrene spring. What sprung forth was the world’s most magnesium-rich mineral water.
At that solemn moment, Apollo said the now famous words:

“Herein lies the source of health and the true power ofthe gods. Instead of Hippocrene, drink Roitschocrene from the spring before you.”

A wise suggestion to follow, coming from the god of healing, light and poetry.
