Hořenice

About the place: Hořenice is a small rural municipality in Náchod District, Hradec Králové Region, situated on the right bank of the Elbe River about 2.5 km north of Jaroměř. It lies in the gently undulating agricultural landscape of the East Elbe Table at an elevation of around 266 metres above sea level.

Flag Description: The flag consists of two horizontal stripes, red and white, in a ratio of 5 : 3. In the red stripe is a demi-lion rampant argent (white) with Or (yellow) armed and langued, holding a wheatsheaf Or (yellow). In the white stripe, flanking both hoist and fly ends, is a blue horizontal stripe one-eighth of the flag's width, while in the middle section rests a blue flax blossom with a white centre. The width-to-length ratio of the flag is 2 : 3.

Symbolism: The white demi-lion represents the historical ties and subjection of Hořenice to the nearby town estate of Jaroměř. The golden wheatsheaf is derived from the historic village seal, representing agricultural heritage. The blue stripes symbolize the location on the river Elbe, while the blue flax flower honors the regional tradition of flax cultivation and textile weaving.
