Summary

About the place: Horní Maršov is a mountain municipality located in the eastern Giant Mountains (Krkonoše) along the Úpa River in the Hradec Králové Region, near the border with Poland. It serves as a traditional gateway and recreation hub for exploring the Krkonoše National Park and the Rýchory ridge.

Flag Description: The flag consists of a green canton over an equally sized yellow square field at the hoist, and two horizontal stripes of yellow and green in the fly. In the green canton is a tournament helmet with yellow and white mantling, crested by a demi-figure of Justice in yellow holding an upright white sword with a yellow hilt in her right hand and yellow balance scales in her left; she wears a white tournament helmet with a white-and-yellow torse and three red ostrich feathers. The width-to-length ratio is 2:3.

Symbolism: The green color symbolizes the surrounding mountain landscape and forests of the Krkonoše, while yellow represents prosperity. The figure of Lady Justice bearing a sword and scales, derived from the historical municipal seal and coat of arms, commemorates Horní Maršov's historic status as an administrative and judicial seat of the local domain.
