Summary
About the place: Harrachov is a well-known mountain town and prominent winter sports and tourist resort in the western Giant Mountains (Krkonoše) in the Liberec Region, famed for its glassmaking heritage and ski flying hills.
Flag Description: A red field charged with a yellow sphere stuck with three white ostrich feathers, two pointing toward the corners of the hoist and one toward the fly edge. The width-to-length ratio is 2:3.
Symbolism: The flag is derived from the town coat of arms, directly adopting the ancestral heraldic device of the Counts of Harrach—former lords of the estate and founders and patrons of the local glassworks after whom the town is named. The golden ball stuck with three silver ostrich feathers on a red field is the traditional heraldic charge of the House of Harrach.
