Flag Description: Per bend sinister vert and azure; in the upper green field a yellow wheatsheaf, in the lower blue field a white lily. The ratio of width to length is 2:3.
Symbolism: The diagonal division and blue field represent the local watercourses, ponds, and the municipality's geographic connection to water (the name stems from 'břeh', meaning bank or shore), while the green color and golden wheatsheaf signify agriculture, fertile soil, and rural heritage. The white lily serves as a traditional Marian symbol of purity and historical spiritual associations.
