Zalahaláp is a village in Veszprém county, Hungary near the
Lake Balaton. Neighbouring settlements are: Tapolca town,
Hegyesd, Sáska and Nyirád villages. The settlement has got 1058
inhabitants (Hungarians; 2001 census). The name of the settlement
has got two parts: Zala and Haláp. Zala relates to Zala county -
the village was part of the county till 1950. Haláp relates to
the Hill Haláp - one of the old volcanoes of the Tapolca Basin -
you can see the form of the hill in the CoA. In the red field of
the shield there is a gold plough relates to the agriculture,
there is a gold vineyard relates to the famous vines of the
Balaton Highland.
The colour of the flag is white by the 5/1999 /IX.15./
resolution, but I have seen two light blue flags in official use
in the village. The ceremonical flag of the village has got gold
fringes in the three edges.
