Summary
About the place: Březí nad Oslavou is a small rural municipality in the Žďár nad Sázavou District within the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic, situated in the undulating landscape of the Křižanov Highlands along the Oslava River approximately 7 km south of Žďár nad Sázavou.
Flag Description: The flag consists of five horizontal stripes, alternately yellow and green, in width proportions of 4:1:1:1:1. The green stripes are wavy with three crests and two troughs. In the upper yellow stripe, above the troughs, are two erect green birch leaves. The width-to-length ratio of the flag is 2:3.
Symbolism: The birch leaves serve as a canting charge directly referencing the name of the municipality (Březí, derived from birch tree) and the local birch groves. The wavy stripes symbolize the Oslava River flowing through the municipality and giving it its full name. The green tincture represents the natural surroundings of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, while the yellow (gold) symbolizes agriculture and prosperity.
