Discover Glavice

When choosing a hotel in Glavice, different travel interests may play a role. Local highlights include climbing in Gornje Glavice, the Staza Cetina cycling route, the Križ cross site, as well as religious festivals and folklore. This allows you to consider outdoor activities and cultural interests when planning your trip.

Climbing and cycling: two distinct highlights

The natural climbing area of Greda is in Gornje Glavice. The rocks are designed as a climbing area for all age groups. Hiking clubs and HGSS also use the site periodically for mountaineering training. Greda is therefore a named climbing site that is also used for mountaineering training.

The 42.7-kilometre Staza Cetina cycling route runs from Sinj through Sinjsko polje, along the Cetina to Han and Glavice, and then back to Sinj. Unlike Greda, a single climbing site, Staza is a cycling route with a stated total length and a return to Sinj. Its route and the place names along it give you concrete points of reference if you include cycling in your travel plans.

Križ: cross, history and views

A 9.5-metre-high cross clad in granite and marble stands on Križ Hill. Reliefs and biblical messages are part of its design. The site's history is also part of its significance: an older cross once stood there but was destroyed during the Second World War; the present cross was erected in the same place. Križ offers views over the Cetinska krajina. Its design, the memory of the former cross and the views are three distinct aspects of the site.

Festivals, folklore and local stories

Two festivals with different dedications are celebrated in Glavice. The Feast of Saint John the Apostle falls on 27 December. The Feast of John the Baptist is also celebrated in Planica in Glavice; this tradition has continued for more than two decades. The two feasts of John are therefore dedicated to different saints: the date refers to the Apostle, while the long-standing celebration tradition in Planica is dedicated to the Baptist.

KUD Glavice is considered the oldest folklore association in the Cetinska krajina. The association presents local folk customs, circle dances and traditional singing. The cultural offering thus includes folklore, with specific forms such as dance and song, alongside the religious festivals.

At Smradovo, a local legend links the Jaža spring with Saint George's victory over a dragon. Unlike the festivals, which are associated with particular saints, this story centres on a named spring. The legend adds its own local folklore to the religious and cultural themes.
