About the place: Chlumec is a municipality and village in Český Krumlov District in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic, situated in the foothills of the Blanský les forest roughly 11 km north of Český Krumlov. It has a quiet rural character and comprises the local settlements of Chlumec and Krnín.
Flag Description: The flag is divided diagonally wavy into a green hoist field and a white fly field. The white field charges a black fleur-de-lis, and the green field charges two yellow linden leaves pointing bendwise sinister with a fruit cluster in the middle. The width-to-length ratio of the flag is 2:3.
Symbolism: The flag is derived from the municipal coat of arms granted in 2012. The black fleur-de-lis on white recalls the historical arms of former noble owners of the settlement of Krnín, while the yellow linden leaves on green represent Chlumec itself and its natural surroundings. The diagonal wavy division line symbolizes the winding brook flowing between Chlumec and Krnín.
