Summary
About the place: Luka nad Jihlavou is a market town in the Jihlava District in the Vysočina Region of the Czech Republic, situated along the Jihlava River. It is known for its chateau and picturesque river valley.
Flag Description: The flag is divided bendy (diagonally from bottom hoist to top fly) into an upper red field and a lower blue field. In the center stands a white crane with yellow armor (beak and talons), holding a yellow stone or ball in its raised right talon.
Symbolism: The crane holding a stone is a traditional heraldic symbol of vigilance. This motif is derived from the coat of arms of the Widmann family, historical owners of the estate, and appears on the town's historical seal and coat of arms.
