Hluboká (Chrudim District)

About the place: Hluboká is a municipality in Chrudim District in the Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic, situated in the undulating landscape of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands near Skuteč and the Maštale nature reserve. It comprises several small settlements dispersed across scenic wooded and agricultural hills.

Flag Description: A yellow flag with a 2:3 aspect ratio, featuring two green quarter-circular fields – at the upper hoist and lower fly – originating from the middle points of the top and bottom edges. The hoist field bears a yellow Gothic key bendwise sinister (wards pointing upwards and towards the hoist), placed over a white sword bendwise with a yellow hilt (pointing towards the top edge). The fly field features an ascending white dove with yellow claws and beak, holding in its beak a pendent yellow linden sprig with four leaves and two fruit clusters.

Symbolism: The green quarter-circles and yellow background represent the municipality's rural character, surrounding forests, and undulating landscape. The crossed key and sword are the traditional attributes of Saints Peter and Paul, reflecting regional sacred history. The rising dove holding a linden branch evokes peace, hope, and Czech national identity, while the four linden leaves represent the municipality's four constituent hamlets (Střítež, Chlum, Dolany, and Březiny).
