It's a lovely day, you're driving down the A1 motorway between Ljubljana and Maribor and you know it'd be good to have some rest. Now, there are some really marvellous services along the way but you MUST make a short stop at Trojane. It is tucked away just off the A1 between Ljubljana and Celje.
Trojane represent the very centre of doughnut universe, period. I mean you've got see this doughnut shop and you've got to try the doughnuts. If only I could post the wonderful smell of freshly baked doughnuts...
You can't miss the exit on the motorway because there are big signs that lead you to the doughnut shop and restaurant.
Every time, but I mean it, whenever near Trojane we stop there. We have doughnuts in the UK but I rarely venture into a purchase because they look soooo darn oily and sugary. I've tried them all over Europe, but Trojane doughnuts are in a different league - a pure joy. They are "huge", spongy, soft, not too oily and if that isn't enough, they are filled with delicious apricot marmalade.
Be prepared though! You won't be the only one in the queue for the Trojane doughnuts. There is a huge car park on several levels but it is normally absolutely packed with cars from all over the continent. The shop assistants are very efficient but sometimes the pressure of incoming guests is so huge it takes your breath away. By the way, they sell more than 4000 doughnuts per day or 12 doughnuts every 5 minutes!!!
The benefit of the lingering smell is that, like in a trans, you just keep waiting patiently - weird how patience works sometimes. After a long wait you will be given a big box of doughnuts and probably eat half of them straight away in the car :) Pure heaven!
