110th ANNIVERSARY OF DONAT Mg NATURAL MINERAL WATER 

This year marks exactly 110 years since Dr Josef Knett, a hydrogeologist from Karlovy Vary, discovered a new source of highly mineralised water in the spa park at Rogaška Slatina, while searching for new springs of natural mineral water. It was given the name Donat after the nearby Donačka Gora ("Mount Donatus"). 

The importance of the springs here is also apparent from the fact that one of them appeared in as early as the twelfth century, more precisely in 1141, and was described as a boundary marker in a deed on the transfer of estates. 

Natural mineral water is part of our natural heritage and also has a special legally defined status. Among the just over 2,000 recognised types of natural mineral water in the European Union, Donat Mg has the largest quantity of dissolved mineral substances (13 g/L) and the highest magnesium content (1 g/L). Precisely because of the unique qualities of Donat Mg, Rogaška is the only spa in Slovenia – and indeed the wider central European region – specialising in the prevention, follow-up treatment and rehabilitation of disorders of the digestive system and metabolic disorders. 

The development of the spa has also affected other sectors of the economy. Over the years Rogaška Slatina has become the largest and economically most developed settlement in the Sotla Valley, and an important municipality. Today Rogaška Slatina is known throughout Europe and Central Asia – thanks to Donat Mg natural mineral water, which Atlantic Grupa exports to almost every country in Europe.
