Kadina Glavica is located in the Petrovo Polje region, at the foot of the majestic Mount Promina. The village belongs to the Drniš area, world-renowned for its air-dried ham, Drniški pršut. The unique combination of dry mountain air and sea breezes provides good conditions for curing meat. Visitors can taste authentic delicacies in local households, prepared according to centuries-old recipes.

Mount Promina features numerous marked trails leading to peaks with sweeping views over the Dalmatian hinterland all the way to the Adriatic. Kadina Glavica has preserved its traditional charm with stone houses and a relaxed lifestyle. Its proximity to Krka National Park (especially Roški slap) makes it an attractive destination for nature lovers. Access is through Drniš, the region's cultural and economic center, via scenic country roads.
