It's specifically north of the Highland Stable, and east of the Lake Tower. There, you'll see the road from the Lake to the north west meeting with a lake from the Stable to the south.

At this fork, go east a short distance, and the Shrine will be to the north. Head on over - there's no puzzle to solve - and activate it to get the fast travel point.
