Summary
About the place: Budeč is a municipality situated along the Želetavka river valley in the southeastern part of Jindřichův Hradec District (South Bohemian Region), historically part of southwestern Moravia. It has a rural character featuring a preserved early Baroque chateau.
Flag Description: The flag consists of five horizontal stripes of blue, yellow, white, yellow, and blue in a width ratio of 5 : 2 : 2 : 2 : 5. The flag's aspect ratio is 2 : 3.
Symbolism: The horizontal stripes are derived directly from the municipality's coat of arms (granted in 2008). The blue represents the local bodies of water, primarily the Želetavka stream, while the yellow (gold) and white (silver) represent the heraldic tinctures of the charges in the arms: the crossed silver battleaxes of the Bořita of Budeč noble family and the golden water lily leaf associated with early regional medieval lords.
