The Pico Ruivo do Paul (Portuguese for Red Moorspitze ) is 1,639 m (1640 m according to other data) the highest point in the Paul da Serra plateau on the Portuguese island of Madeira in the Atlantic Ocean . The mountain, which is not very pronounced in relation to the high plateau, drops away from it with slopes overgrown with bracken and gorse , to the north, however, with a steep edge. From the easily accessible summit, which has a surveying point, there is a rewarding view of the Serra, the Madeiran massif central and the São Vicente valley .
