There are a couple of relatively simple ways to get that info.
*Before* you even create the template, when you click on "Template (*.xlt)",
in the "Save As Type" box, you'll notice that in the "Save In" box, at the
top of the window, the folder "Templates" is displayed.
Expand this box by clicking on the tiny arrow on the right side, and you'll
get a graphical path right to that templates folder.
OR
*After* creating the template:
You can right click on the template icon in the "Files - New" window,
And click on "Properties".
Under the General tab, you'll see the path to the location.
