Mehedinți County, Administrative division in southwestern Romania.

Mehedinți County extends from the Danube River in the south to the Mehedinți Mountains in the north, covering 4,933 square kilometers of land.

The region's name originates from the Hungarian word 'méh' meaning bee, reflecting its past significance in beekeeping and honey production during medieval times.

The county maintains traditional Romanian festivals where local artisans display handmade textiles, wooden objects, and agricultural products from their communities.

Drobeta-Turnu Severin, the county capital, connects to major Romanian cities through national roads DN6 and DN67, while the Danube River enables water transportation.

The Iron Gates I and II hydroelectric dams on the Danube River generate substantial power and form Europe's largest river power plant system.
