The Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows stands on the slope of the Krzyżowa mountain, by the old trail from Kacwin to Łapsze Niżne. It is located in the immediate vicinity of the Wokół Tatr (Around the Tatra Mountains) Cycling Trail, at which it is worth stopping for a moment. The chapel was erected around 1750.
