Summary

About the place: The flag consists of three vertical stripes: the hoist stripe divided horizontally white over red, the middle green stripe, and the fly stripe divided horizontally red over white, in a width ratio of 1:2:1.

Flag Description: Chvalnov-Lísky is a municipality in Kroměříž District in the Zlín Region of the Czech Republic, situated in the rolling landscape of the Litenčice Hills at the foot of the Chřiby highlands, approximately 19 km southwest of Kroměříž. It consists of the two merged villages of Chvalnov and Lísky.

Symbolism: The yellow (golden) double-tailed lion holding a white (silver) fleur-de-lis is derived from the historical 1668 municipal seal of Chvalnov, with the fleur-de-lis traditionally symbolizing purity and nobility. The hazel trefoils with nuts serve as a canting element referring to the name and woodland character of the village of Lísky ('hazel bushes'). The green color represents the surrounding landscape of the Chřiby hills and local nature.
