Continent: Europe
The flag of Austria is a vibrant symbol of the country's rich history and culture. With its bold red and white stripes, it tells a story of bravery and honesty, qualities that Austrians hold dear. Legend has it that Duke Leopold V wore a white tunic during battle, and when he removed it, the bloodstains left behind inspired the flag's colors. This flag has flown proudly for centuries, reminding everyone of Austria's enduring spirit and beautiful landscapes, from the majestic Alps to the serene Danube River.
