The origins of Gyssbertsven are primarily natural, though human intervention has shaped its current form and surrounds.

Birdwatching is a common activity, with several species known to inhabit the lake and its surrounding wetlands. The vegetation includes reeds and other water-loving plants, contributing to the ecosystem's biodiversity.

The lake is accessible to the public and is used for a range of activities, including swimming, sunbathing, and non-motorized boating during warmer months.
