Summary
About the place: Hahót is a village in Hungary located in Zala County within the Nagykanizsa District. It lies in a scenic agricultural region of southern Zala.
Flag Description: The flag consists of a white field framed on the top, bottom, and fly edges by a wolf-tooth border made of green triangles. The hoist edge is plain white. In the center of the flag is the municipal coat of arms. The shield is parted per saltire into gold (top and bottom) and blue (sides) fields. The upper gold field displays a black bull's head with a small red cross between its horns, the lower gold field features a black embattled wall with a central tower surmounted by a cross, the dexter (viewer's left) blue field shows a gold uprooted tree, and the sinister (viewer's right) blue field contains a golden sheaf of wheat with a scythe. Beneath the shield rests a golden ribbon bearing the black inscription 'HAHÓT'.
Symbolism: The traditional Hungarian wolf-tooth border represents local heritage and unity. The coat of arms references noble history (the bull's head associated with the ancestral Hahót family), the agricultural character of the village (sheaf of wheat and scythe), surrounding nature and forests (uprooted tree), and historical defense and religious landmarks (walled tower with a cross).
