The lake is roughly triangular in shape with its inflow from Albysjön in the southern corner, and its outflow to Kalvfjärden in the north-eastern corner. It is separated from Albysjön by the peninsula Rävnäset, a municipal nature reserve covering 27 ha.[3] It contains a wide range of rare species and is together with the nature and park surrounding Tyresö Palace one of the best locales for bats.[4] South-east of the lake is the residential area Solberga.
In summers, the lake is part of a popular walk for visitors attracted by the Tyresö Palace and its surroundings.[5] In winters, the lake is popular for ice fishing.[6]
There are 21 species of vascular plants by the lake which in itself contains 9-13 aquatic plants, a relatively high biodiversity within the lake system.[1] Common fishes include Perch, Pike, and Zander.[7]
Notwithstanding its eutrophication, the presence of Stoneworts in Fatburen indicates the waters have a relatively high visibility, which, considering it is the last lake in the lake system, is surprising.[4]
