Lenti

About the place: Lenti is a town in Zala County, Hungary, located near the borders with Slovenia, Austria, and Croatia. It is well known for its thermal baths and surrounding scenic countryside.

Flag Description: The flag is a vertically oriented banner divided into two equal vertical stripes: green on the left side from the viewer's perspective (heraldic dexter) and blue on the right side (heraldic sinister). The town's coat of arms is placed in the upper central part of the flag. The shield is per pale: the left field from the viewer's perspective is blue with a golden tower with an open gate standing above a wavy bar and accompanied by three golden stars in the upper corner; the right field is green, depicting an armored arm holding a sword/sabre beneath a silver crescent.

Symbolism: The green and blue colors represent the natural landscape of Zala County and its local waterways and thermal resources. The coat of arms reflects the history of Lenti: the castle tower above the wavy river symbolizes the historic fortress and the Kerka River, while the armored arm with a sabre and the crescent recall the historical defense against Ottoman incursions.
