The Frize mountain belvedere reveals a striking view of the meanders of the Somme, in a peaceful setting that contrasts with its past marked by the battles of the First World War. Traces of this history are still visible in the trenches and shell impacts. Mentioned by Blaise Cendrars, this land rich in history today offers visitors an exceptional panorama of a landscape of marshes and ponds.

The creation of this cycle route is quite recent. The bitumen coating dates from 2019. Until that date, to make these 200 kilometers of journey, it was largely necessary to travel them on towpaths along the river. This allows for greater accessibility.
