Summary
About the place: Cák is a small, picturesque village in Vas County in western Hungary, located near the Austrian border and the town of Kőszeg. It is particularly famous for its historic ensemble of thatched-roof wine cellars.
Flag Description: The flag of Cák is a vertically oriented banner divided into two equal vertical stripes: yellow (gold) on the left side from the viewer's perspective and blue on the right. In the center of the flag is a blue coat of arms shield outlined in black. Inside the shield are three yellow (gold) figures: a vertical ear of wheat with two leaves on its stem in the center, flanked by a plowshare on the left from the viewer's perspective and a coulter on the right.
Symbolism: The yellow and blue colors are derived from the traditional symbolism of the village and Vas County. The figures on the shield—the ear of wheat, plowshare, and coulter—represent the traditional agricultural character of the village, soil fertility, and its historic tradition of grain farming and soil cultivation.
