Summary

About the place: Dolní Loučky is a picturesque municipality and village in the Brno-Country District, South Moravian Region, Czech Republic, situated at the confluence of the Bobrůvka and Libochovka rivers at the foothills of the Křižanov Highlands and known for its monumental railway viaduct.

Flag Description: The flag consists of seven horizontal stripes: white, blue, white, black, white, blue, and white in width ratios of 2:1:1:1:1:1:2. The width-to-length ratio of the sheet is 2:3.

Symbolism: The design of the flag is derived directly from the municipal coat of arms (a silver shield with three fesses, black between blue). The blue stripes represent the confluence of the Bobrůvka and Libochovka rivers, which merge in the municipality to form the Loučka River, while the overall composition and black stripe reference the historical heraldry of former feudal lords of the local Loučky Castle (notably the Lords of Kunštát).
