All his life, at every life-changing crossroads, Pupin carried within him the vivid
images of his Idvor home, the memories of pastures where he looked after his cattle,
where he was up to mischief with his friends, but also where he glanced at the starry
sky for the very first time, as he lied down on the soft Idvor grass. Some of these
experiences and observations that he obtained in this summer shepherd school, as he
himself liked to call this carefree boyhood era, became the integral part of his
collossal discoveries several decades later.
Today diverse tokens are taking us along the roads of Pupin’s legacy: his house where
he was born, the church where he was baptized, the school where he learned how to
read and write, the old town's cross, his Foundation and the tombs of his beloved
parents, Коsta and Olimpijada
