Summary
About the place: Dobrá Voda u Českých Budějovic is a suburban municipality in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic, situated immediately east of České Budějovice. It is historically renowned as a pilgrimage site centered on the Baroque Church of Our Lady of Sorrows and as a former mining locality.
Flag Description: The flag consists of seven horizontal stripes, alternately blue and white, in a width ratio of 6:1:1:1:1:1:1. In the upper hoist corner is a white circular disc with a diameter of four-ninths of the flag's width, bearing a black burning miner's oil lamp. The width-to-length ratio of the flag is 2:3.
Symbolism: The blue and white stripes (mirroring the wavy base in the coat of arms) symbolize the local natural springs and form a canting reference to the municipality's name ("Good Water"). The black burning miner's oil lamp commemorates the historical mining of silver and gold in the area between the 16th and 19th centuries.
