"Teufelsschritt (Devil's Footstep)," Frauenkirche, Munich, Germany

This spot in a Munich cathedral commemorates where, as legend has it, the Devil (size 12) once stood to survey church construction. The attraction has driven new traffic into the church for countless years as believers and cynics alike compare footprints with Satan. Lesson: Start a legend people can touch and feel.
