Krumë is a town in northern Albania. It is located in a mountainous region, within Kukës County in the municipality of Has. It is the principal town in the ethnographic region of Has, which is inhabited by a population that has maintained distinct cultural traditions over centuries.

Geography

Krumë is located at about 430 m above sea level. It is a small town at the north-west foot of the Bjeshka e Krumes mountain (English: Kruma Highland, Mount of Kruma), from which comes a large 'source' of underground water called Vrella with clean water serving the domestic population's needs for fresh water. Maja e Gjytezës, a mountain located few kilometers south of Krumë, reaches an altitude of 1435m above sea level. Krumë is about 10 km from the Kosovo border.

Economy

The main activities are copper mining and agriculture. There has been some effort to boost the local economy through cross-border trade with Kosovo and the promotion of small-scale tourism, particularly among those interested in rural tourism, hiking, and exploring the natural environment of the Has region.
