Siverić is located in the Drniš region in the Dalmatian hinterland. The village became known primarily for its coal mines, which formed the economic backbone of the region for over a century. Today, Siverić is a quiet place that attracts hikers and nature lovers who want to explore the Promina mountain. The peaks offer spectacular views over the hinterland all the way to the Adriatic Sea. Architecturally, traces of the mining past can still be found, including old administrative buildings and residential houses from the industrial heyday. The surrounding area is characterized by sparse nature and traditional agriculture. A cultural highlight is the 'Ojkanje' singing, an archaic form of polyphonic singing that is deeply rooted in this region and belongs to the UNESCO cultural heritage. Culinarilly, the area is famous for the Drniš prosciutto (Pršut), which is refined by the dry Bora winds.
