Flag Description: Dolní Studénky is a municipality and village in Šumperk District in the Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic, situated in the Desná River valley roughly 3.5 km south of Šumperk at the foothills of the Jeseníky Mountains. The community has a predominantly residential and rural character and includes the settlement of Králec with the Renaissance Třemešek Chateau.

Symbolism: The golden ashlar well serves as canting heraldry referring to the municipality's name (Studénky relates to Czech 'studánka' / 'studna' meaning spring or well, echoing the German Schönbrunn). The interlaced silver horns are derived from the coat of arms of the Bukůvka of Bukůvka noble family, who held the estate and built the Renaissance Třemešek Chateau in the 16th and 17th centuries. The red and black fields provide local heraldic contrast, complemented in the coat of arms by chained croziers representing Saint Leonard, the patron saint of the local church.
