It's surprisingly easy to get to, with it perched on top of a cliff overlooking the lake.

The area isn't too dangerous to reach on foot, but if you want to make things easy for yourself, head to the Akkala Tower, then look to the south east and you'll clearly see it in the distance, next to some waterfalls.

Simply glide over - or glide over as far as you can to the nearby cliffs - then trot over. No puzzles to enter, just slide your tablet in and down you go.

Once inside, it's one of the game's many Test of Strength challenges, with the prior link having details on how to best defeat it.
