Summary
About the place: Deštná is a municipality in Blansko District in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic, situated in the Boskovice Furrow approximately 7 km north-northwest of Letovice. It has a population of just over 200, and the ruins of the medieval Rumberk Castle lie within its municipal territory.
Flag Description: The flag consists of three vertical stripes: blue, white with a blue drop, and red. The aspect ratio is 2:3.
Symbolism: The blue drop in the central white stripe is a canting charge directly referencing the municipality's name (derived from the Czech word 'déšť', meaning rain). The combination of blue, white, and red derives from the municipal coat of arms and mirrors the national tricolour, with blue and white also evoking the water element and the attributes of Saints Peter and Paul from the municipal arms.
