Cover Story: The high visual quality of lakes supports aesthetic and recreational experiences. This study assessed people’s preferences regarding visual characteristics of mountain lakes. We used a photo-based questionnaire including different picture sets related to water clarity, water colour, presence of algae, lake shore, and surrounding land cover. Our results indicate a strong preference for blue and clear water without algae. Most preferred were large rocks at the lake shore and forest around the lake. This study also exemplifies the quantification of aesthetic value for four selected study lakes in the European Alps, integrating the results with spatial and limnological data. View this paper
