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.
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.
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.
