... that on a clear day, you can see the
Alps from Luitpoldpark in
Munich? Source: "on clear days, you can see all the way to the Alps."

ALT1:... that Luitpoldpark was named after
Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria, to commemorate his 90th birthday? Source: "Created in celebration of Prince Regent Luitpold's 90th birthday" [link as main hook]
Comment: why not the water-spitting statue, pictured? - There are many places in the area offering that view ;) --

As Jimbo is fond of saying, "you can edit this page!" (and add an ALT2 to that effect).

I would go for ALT1, because as
Gerda Arendt mentions you can see the Alps from most of Munich on a clear day. I like how ALT1 ties the park in to a historic figure. I was also thinking maybe a hook like "that a distinctive feature of Luitpoldpark in Munich is the Luitpoldhügel, a 37-metre (121 ft) tall hill consisting of rubble piled up from World War II bombing attacks on the city." Major kudos to
Ritchie333 for greatly expanding this article. It looks really great.

ALT2: ... that passersby in Luitpoldpark, Munich, can get soaked when a figure on the Pumuckl fountain (pictured) spits intermittently?
This article is new enough and long enough. Striking ALT0 as uninspiring and approving ALT1. I have also added ALT2 based on Gerda's suggestion, but somebody else wioll need to approve that hook. The article is neutral and free from policy issues. A QPQ has been done.

ALT2 is a far better hook, so I've struck the others. ALT2 foreign-language hook ref AGF (though it checks out with Google Translate) and cited inline. Image is freely licensed. ALT2 good to go.
