Hradištko

About the place: Hradištko is a municipality in the Central Bohemian Region (Nymburk District), situated in the flat Elbe lowland on the left bank of the Elbe River. It encompasses the renowned forest settlement of Kersko, famously linked to the life and literary works of Czech author Bohumil Hrabal.

Flag Description: The flag consists of four horizontal stripes: red, embattled yellow (with seven square merlons and eight equal embrasures), blue, and yellow, in a width ratio of 9 : 6 : 5 : 20. In the lower broad yellow stripe is an upright green oak branch bearing alternately three red acorns and two green leaves. The ratio of the flag's width to its length is 2 : 3.

Symbolism: The red stripe with an embattled division represents a fortified stronghold or earthwork, referencing the municipality's name derived from 'hradiště' (gord/hillfort). The blue stripe symbolizes the Elbe River flowing past the settlement. The green oak branch with red acorns on yellow symbolizes the surrounding dense oak woodlands and the Kersko forest park. The design corresponds directly to the municipal coat of arms granted in 2013.
