Medvode (pronounced [mɛˈdʋoːdɛ]; German: Zwischenwässern) is a town and a municipality in Slovenia. The Sava and Sora rivers join in Medvode, from which the town's name (which means 'between the waters') is derived. Two large factories, Color and Donit, are based in Medvode. The Sava River at Medvode is also the location of the Medvode Hydroelectric Power Plant. After the Second World War, a Yugoslav labor camp for political prisoners operated in Medvode.
