Introduction[edit]
Rio Barman is a short and concise canyon located in Val Resia valley. Rio Barman is more known by name Fontanone Barman and is a major tourist attraction in Val Resia. The water comes from the underground cave and after 200 meters displays, like a waterfall Fontanone Brman. Very nice view is from the bottom of the canyon, where you see waterfalls in all their mightiness. Waterfalls are very beautiful and are surrounded with green moss. To visit the Canyon is a very important low water level, because otherwise it can become extremely difficult and dangerous.
