Ugljane is located in the Cetinska Krajina region, near the town of Trilj in the Split hinterland. The settlement faithfully preserves the typical architecture of the Dalmatian Zagora with its massive stone houses and dry-stone walls. Ugljane is a paradise for travelers wanting to discover the authentic, rural Croatia. Its strategic location on the old road from Sinj to Imotski makes it an interesting stopover. The Cetina River, one of Croatia's most beautiful rivers, flows nearby, offering numerous opportunities for rafting, canoeing, or fishing. Historically, the area is rich in Roman-era sites, such as the nearby Tilurium legionary camp. Local gastronomy is famous for specialties like 'uštipci', frog legs, and crayfish from the Cetina. Thanks to the Bisko motorway exit, Ugljane is quickly accessible from the coast, yet has a completely different, slow-paced way of life.
