WaterflowIntroduction[edit]
Rio Livinal is a right tributary of Rio Cadramazzo. Located in the extreme rugged environments under wild mountains Jovet Blanc and Jof di Miezzdi. Rio Livinal with Rio Fontanis form Rio Cadramazzo, which is known for it's last two waterfalls visible from the road Dogna – Chiusaforte. Rio Fontanis and Rio Cadramazzo were explored many years ago, while Rio Livinal had to wait until year 2013.
