Summary
About the place: Dubenec is a municipality in the Hradec Králové Region (Trutnov District) of the Czech Republic, situated in the rolling countryside of the Giant Mountains foothills approximately 8 km south of Dvůr Králové nad Labem along the Hustířanka brook.
Flag Description: The flag consists of a hoist stripe one-fourth of the flag's length wide, divided white over green in a 3:1 ratio, and two horizontal stripes, green and white, in the same 3:1 width ratio. At the junction of the two upper fields (the white hoist field and the green upper fly stripe), there is an erect oak leaf in counterchanged colours. The ratio of the flag's width to its length is 2:3.
Symbolism: The oak leaf (like the uprooted oak tree in the coat of arms) serves as canting arms referencing the name of the municipality, Dubenec (derived from the Czech word for oak, 'dub'). Green represents the surrounding nature, forests, and agriculture, while white (silver) symbolizes purity, peace, and local waterways.
