Geography
[edit ]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
[edit ]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.[citation needed ]
