Summary
About the place: Horní Smržov is a small municipality in the Blansko District of the South Moravian Region, situated in a scenic forested valley north of Letovice on the historical border of Moravia and Bohemia. It maintains a tranquil rural and agricultural character noted for preserved folk architecture.
Flag Description: A white field with two red wedges issuing from the hoist and fly edges, their apexes reaching one-third of the flag's length. In the centre is a blue pansy flower with a green centre, stem, and leaves. Inside each red wedge is a yellow six-pointed star. The ratio of width to length is 2:3.
Symbolism: The flower (a pansy on the flag, corresponding to the flax flower in the municipal coat of arms) symbolizes the traditional local cultivation of flax, rural weaving, and regional nature. The six-pointed stars and red-white color scheme derive from historical heraldic and seal traditions of the local domains.
