Summary
About the place: Jablonné v Podještědí is a historic town in the Liberec District of the Liberec Region, situated in the foothills of the Lusatian Mountains along the Panenský Brook. It is renowned as a pilgrimage destination closely associated with Saint Zdislava of Lemberk and home to the monumental Baroque Basilica of St. Lawrence and St. Zdislava.
Flag Description: Two horizontal stripes of white and red. In the center of the flag is a blue square with a side length equal to half the flag's width, bearing a yellow two-pronged pitchfork head without a shaft pointing upwards. The width-to-length ratio is 2:3.
Symbolism: The white and red colors derive from the city's historic coat of arms (a red gate and towers on a silver/white shield). The central blue square with the yellow pitchfork functions as canting arms, referencing the town's historical German name 'Gabel' (meaning fork/pitchfork).
