Summary
About the place: Dubicko is a municipality in the Šumperk District of the Olomouc Region, situated in the picturesque landscape of the Úsov Highlands near the Morava River. It is a traditional rural settlement with a history dating back to the 13th century, formerly centered around a medieval fortress.
Flag Description: A green field with a white embattled hoist stripe occupying one-third of the flag's length. The white stripe features six merlons and five crenels with a depth of one-tenth of the flag's width. In the green fly part is a yellow oak sprig with two leaves and three acorns. The width-to-length ratio is 2:3.
Symbolism: The oak sprig functions as canting arms, referencing the municipality's name (derived from 'dub', oak) and the local historic oak forests, complemented by the green field symbolizing surrounding nature. The white embattled stripe (corresponding to the embattled wall in the coat of arms) commemorates the medieval fortress of the local squires that stood in the village until its destruction in the 15th century.
