Summary
About the place: Chvaleč is a border municipality in Trutnov District, Hradec Králové Region, situated in a scenic submontane landscape at the foot of the Jestřebí Mountains near the Polish border. Comprising the villages of Chvaleč and Petříkovice, it features a predominantly rural and recreational character.
Flag Description: The flag consists of two vertical stripes, white and blue. The white stripe features a black bird facing the fly, and the blue stripe features a yellow key with wards pointing upward and toward the fly. The ratio of width to length is 2:3.
Symbolism: The flag is derived from the municipal coat of arms granted in 2004. The white stripe with the black bird refers to the local wildlife, forests, and submontane landscape. The blue stripe with the yellow key represents the attribute of Saint Peter, serving as a canting symbol for the constituent village of Petříkovice (historically Petersdorf). Blue and white also evoke the local streams (Chvalečský brook) and surrounding rock formations.
