About the flag

The official flag of Medelpad, a historical province in Sweden, is a banner of arms, just like for all Swedish provinces. The white wavy fesses are supposed to symbolise the two major rivers in the province, Ljungan and the Indal River (Indals�lven), while the red part probably is added just to give a livelier tincture combination.
