Summary

About the place: Dolánky nad Ohří is a village and municipality in Litoměřice District, Ústí nad Labem Region, situated in the fertile lowlands on the right bank of the Ohře River near Doksany. It features a peaceful rural and agricultural character.

Flag Description: Four horizontal stripes of yellow, blue, white, and blue in a width ratio of 9:1:1:1. From the yellow stripe issues a green pile inverted reaching its bottom edge, charged with a white column (wayside shrine) bearing a black arched niche in its capital. The pile is flanked by an upright green linden leaf in the hoist and an upright blue ploughshare in the fly. The ratio of width to length is 2:3.

Symbolism: The white column with an arched niche represents the local heritage-listed renaissance wayside shrine dating back to 1597. The green color and the linden leaf evoke the surrounding nature and the traditional Czech tree, while the blue ploughshare on yellow represents local agriculture and fertile soil. The lower blue and white stripes symbolize the Ohře River flowing past the village.
