Summary

About the place: Grešlové Mýto is a municipality in Znojmo District within the South Moravian Region, situated along the Jevišovka River approximately 18 km northwest of Znojmo. Historically, it originated as a settlement by a toll station on the imperial highway between Vienna and Prague.

Symbolism: The yellow post horn represents the municipality's historic location along the imperial post and coach road between Vienna and Prague, associated with toll collection (reflected in the place name 'Mýto'). The blue and red quartering is derived from the municipal coat of arms, drawing on traditional Moravian and Bohemian heraldic tinctures.
