The chapel is located in the pilgrimage site Moresnet-Chapelle (B), a district of Kelmis/La Calamine. In about 2 1/2 hours we reach Aachen Cathedral.

The route runs in the opposite direction along the VIA MOSANA, the pilgrimage route of St. James from Aachen through Belgium to France. It is marked with the symbol of the scallop shell. Crosses stand repeatedly on the right and left of the path. A few hundred meters before the Belgian-German border, one could reach the tripoint Belgium-Netherlands-Germany via the "King's Way," but the pilgrimage route continues straight across the national border.
