Summary

About the place: Ježkovice is a municipality and village in Vyškov District in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic, situated in the forested landscape of the Drahany Highlands west of Vyškov.

Flag Description: The flag consists of two vertical stripes: a blue hoist stripe and a serrated white fly stripe with five teeth. In the blue stripe, three yellow apples are arranged vertically in pale. The width-to-length ratio is 2:3.

Symbolism: The flag is derived from the municipal coat of arms granted in 2002. The serrated partition of the white stripe with five teeth represents hedgehog spines and, together with the three apples, forms a canting charge referring to the municipality's name (Czech 'ježek' = hedgehog, depicted in the coat of arms as carrying three apples on its spines). The blue color is taken from the shield field.
