Summary

About the place: Heršpice is a municipality and village in the Vyškov District within the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic, situated south of Slavkov u Brna at the foothills of the Ždánice Forest. It has a predominantly agricultural and rural residential character with historical traditions of viticulture.

Flag Description: The flag consists of three vertical stripes: red, white, and red in a width ratio of 1:2:1. In the center of the middle white stripe is a blue bunch of grapes on a green stem with a leaf. The width-to-length ratio of the flag is 2:3.

Symbolism: The colors and central charge are derived from the municipal coat of arms granted in 1996.
