Long Description:
The municipal flag of the town
Hejnice (Jizera Mts., North Bohemia) can be found on the town's
hall building.
Description of the Hejnice flag: the
flag is divided into two vertical stripes (a and b) proportioned
1:2. a) Two horizontal stripes proportioned 3:2; on red is a white
Basilica of Hejnice and on green are three cornears. b) Three
horizontal stripes of blue and yellow, proportioned 2:1:2; on blue

The town of Hejnice lies on the
northern slopes of the Jizera Mountains at an altitude of 375 m
above sea level. The main flow of water here is the River Smedá.
The majority of the area is part of the protected landscape of the
Jizera Mts. The existence of Hejnice has always been closely linked
to its pilgrimage church, which dates back to 1211 if legend is to
be believed. The village of Hejnice was granted town status on 31st
July 1917. It fulfils the role of an industrial and agricultural
centre and a starting point for tourists, offering public transport
connections.
