Although a monument was unveiled a hundred meters from here in 1985 with quite a lot of festivities, Google Maps (and others) show the source of the Demer here in the field, near the highway.

The Demer rises 90 meters south of kilometer marker 95 of the E313 in Ketsingen, a residential area of Berg, a sub-municipality in the east of Tongeren in Moist Haspengouw.
