Flag Description: The flag consists of five bendwise (diagonal from upper hoist to lower fly) stripes: red, white, red, white, and red. The width-to-length ratio is 2:3.
Symbolism: The flag's design directly reflects the historic municipal coat of arms, inherited from the medieval Lords of Dobruška (featuring two silver bends on a red field). The diagonal red and white stripes vexillologically translate the silver bends and red background of the town's historical heraldry.
