The legend of the appearance of the spring

During a visit to Hammam Mescoutine, guides will be sure to tell tourists the legend of the origin of this place. According to the beliefs, once in this area was born a boy with incredible beauty and strength. The young man grew up feeling his strength and did not listen to the elders who advised him to curb his talent. When the time came to marry, the young man searched for a bride worthy of him for a long time. But he could not find one who could in any way compare to his own sister. And then the young man offered her his hand and heart. The girl accepted. Then, on the wedding day, when the whole wedding procession was climbing the mountain, the gods punished them for their sin. All the guests who witnessed the incestuous marriage turned into stone sculptures that still surround the spring today.
