i got there by bike from Mechernich, its a 40 - 60 minutes journey if u don't get lost, which is likely to happen.
Eifel is stunning tho, and the chapel is the most intense piece of architecture i've visited so far.
i highly recommend this trip!!

Opening hours The chapel is open from 10.00h to 16.00h - but this might change depending on the season.
