Flag Description: The flag consists of a blue hoist field extending to 3/7 of the length of the sheet, charged with a yellow birch sprig bearing three leaves and two catkins, and two horizontal stripes in the fly, red over white. The ratio of width to length is 2:3.
Symbolism: The golden birch twig serves as a canting symbol directly alluding to the name of the municipality and the local Březnice stream, originally flanked by birch groves. The blue field represents the waterway and pristine natural landscape, while the red and white horizontal stripes are derived from the municipal coat of arms, reflecting the red roof and white (silver) facade of the local Church of St. Bartholomew.
