Summary
About the place: Horní Libochová is a small rural municipality in the Žďár nad Sázavou District within the Vysočina Region, situated in the Křižanov Highlands approximately 11 km northeast of Velké Meziříčí. It lies in a picturesque, undulating landscape characterized by forests, farmland, and ponds along the Libochovka stream.
Flag Description: The flag consists of three vertical stripes of yellow, blue, and yellow in the proportion of 1 : 3 : 1. In the central blue stripe is a yellow log bell tower with a bell hanging in an open lantern, topped with a finial bearing a white swallow-tailed pennant flying toward the hoist. The bell tower is flanked above by two erect, outwardly inclined yellow linden leaves and on the sides by two yellow bees with white wings. The ratio of width to length is 2 : 3.
Symbolism: The log bell tower references the historical 19th-century municipal seal and represents the local heritage and spiritual tradition. The linden leaves serve as a canting charge alluding to the etymology of the village's name (derived from the linden tree) and symbolize natural beauty. The bees signify the diligence of the local inhabitants and the tradition of beekeeping in the Vysočina region. The blue field represents local water bodies, ponds, and streams.
