Summary
About the place: Chlum-Korouhvice is a small municipality in the Žďár nad Sázavou District of the Vysočina Region, Czechia, situated in the picturesque hilly landscape of the Upper Svratka Highlands near the Vír Reservoir. It consists of two villages, Chlum and Korouhvice.
Flag Description: A white flag with a green hill on the lower edge rising to five-twelfths of the flag's width, bearing a pendent yellow linden leaf. Emerging from the hill are two crossed pennants on black poles, a bendwise red one and a bendwise sinister blue one. The aspect ratio is 2:3.
Symbolism: The symbols are canting arms and flags: the green hill represents Chlum (an Old Czech word for a wooded hill), while the crossed pennants (Czech 'korouhve') represent the village of Korouhvice, referencing historic village seals. The red and blue pennants evoke the regional colors of Bohemia and Moravia (symbolizing the location in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands), and the linden leaf symbolizes a memorial linden tree and the local natural environment.
