Summary
About the place: Dolní Bukovsko is a market town in the South Bohemian Region (České Budějovice District), situated roughly 25 km northeast of České Budějovice at the northern edge of the Třeboň Basin. It is a rural community whose documented history dates back to the 14th century under the Rosenberg dominion.
Flag Description: A white field with a central red five-petalled rose with a yellow seed and green sepals. In each of the four corners is a green beech leaf pointing inward toward the center. The aspect ratio is 2:3.
Symbolism: The red rose on a white field is derived from the historic municipal coat of arms and commemorates the noble House of Rožmberk (Rosenberg), which acquired the estate in 1323. The four green beech leaves serve as a canting charge referring directly to the town's name (Bukovsko, derived from 'buk' – beech) and symbolize the local forested environment.
