Medvode is a town and a municipality in Slovenia.[2] The Sava and Sora rivers join in Medvode, from which the town's name (which means 'between the waters') is derived.[3] Two large factories, Color[4] and Donit,[5] are based in Medvode. The Sava River at Medvode is also the location of the Medvode Hydroelectric Power Plant[6].
