Shume
Shume is a village in Tanzania in the Pare Mountains near Mount Kilimanjaro. It was formerly known as New Hornow (German: Neu-Hornow) and was the location of a sawmill during the country's colonial period. Around 1910, a cable railway was constructed to link the mill with the Usambara line to permit export to Germany.
