- Kubova Huť, Prachatice district, South Bohemian region - adopted 25 Nov
2003
Description: "List tvoří zelený žerďový pruh, široký jednu třetinu
délky listu, se žlutým květem prhy horské a bílé pole se zeleným smrkem
s hnědým kmenem. Poměr šířky k délce listu je 2:3."
From that I gather that the yellow thingy at the hoist is a kind of
mountain flower.
Kubova Huť is a mountain resort. It is situated about 10 km south of
the town Vimperk. The local railway station is the highest one in the Czech
Republic (995 m). It used to be a settlement with glassworks and its name
means "Kuba's Glassworks". It was founded in 1728 by a hetman named Guba.

- Nová Pec municipality, :Prachatice district, South Bohemian region -
flag adopted 27 June 2001. In Czech "pec" = oven, hence the flag
is canting. It was founded as a settlement for timbermen in the 17th century
(the first mention originates from 1686). It was a part of the domain of
the castle town Český Krumlov. After the Second World War people were displaced
from the village, which is situated near the Czech-Austrian border, and
only a few inhabitants stayed here. The importance of the village grew
after the completion of the Lipno Dam and new development came after 1989,
when the borderland was opened to the public.

- Zbytiny municipality, Prachatice district, South Bohemian Region - flag
adopted 13 May 2003.
Beginnings of this country-side's settlement reaches down to 14th century.
The first mention of Zbytiny's existence comes from 1388. In 1395, after
prolonged contentions with Vyšehrad's capitule, the villages: Blažejovice,
Koryto, Spálenec, Sviňovice and Zbytiny were given to the monastery in
Zlatá Koruna.
From 15th to the beginning of 17th century these villages were a part
of Rožmberk's dominion, later they were in the property of the Emperor
Rudolf II, Eggenbergs and then Schwarzenbergs. At the beginning of October
1938 they were occupied by the German army according to the Munich Treaty
and joined to the Reich. Right after the liberation by the U. S. army in
1945 this area was given back to the Czech Republic.
In post-war period after the forced displacement of mainly German population
the influx of new settlers began. The population, however, has descended
with 320 people living permanently in the Zbytiny area nowadays. Many of
former dwelling houses are used just for recreation now.
