Flag Description: The flag consists of two horizontal stripes, red and yellow, in a width ratio of 3 : 7.

The width-to-length ratio of the flag is 2 : 3.
Symbolism: The flag's figures and tinctures are directly derived from the municipal coat of arms granted in 2022. The running ermine (stoat) in the upper red stripe traditionally symbolizes nobility, purity, and local feudal heritage, while the blue double-tailed crowned lion on a yellow field draws upon Bohemian civic and heraldic tradition, symbolizing historical allegiance to the Czech Crown and regional domains.
