The feeling is of a different island: no terraces, no villages, just the sky and the wind on a rolling highland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Das Tor zu Raba\u00e7al<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plateau is also the trailhead of some of the island&#8217;s most famous walks: the road down to Raba\u00e7al and the <a href=\"https:\/\/realdreams.pt\/de\/sehenswertes\/fanal-forest\/\">Fanal<\/a> Land beginnt hier, und kurze Runden \u00fcberqueren die Heide selbst. Das Wetter wechselt schnell in dieser H\u00f6he \u2014 dieselbe Sonne, die die K\u00fcste w\u00e4rmt, kann hier oben Nebel und kalter Wind sein, und Wanderer kommen vorbereitet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sehenswertes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Die offene Heide des Plateaus<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Die Windparks auf dem Kamm<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Der Abstieg nach Raba\u00e7al und zu den Levadas<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Die Hochlandstra\u00dfe zwischen den beiden K\u00fcsten<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Die raschen Wechsel des Bergwetters<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Praktische Informationen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plateau is crossed by the ER209 and ER110 roads, reached from Ponta do Sol, Calheta or S\u00e3o Vicente by steep mountain roads. Temperatures are far below the coast&#8217;s \u2014 bring layers in every season, and check conditions before walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Bildnachweis: Paul da Serra von Harald Lordick \u2014 CC BY-SA 3.0, \u00fcber Wikimedia Commons.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madeira&#8217;s great highland plateau: an open moor of wind turbines at 1,500 metres, where the island&#8217;s walks and its water begin.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61825,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1074],"tags":[],"attraction-categ":[1059],"localidade":[1654],"content-type":[],"grupo-de-experiencias":[],"experiencia-tipo":[],"regioes_turisticas_term":[119],"class_list":["post-61824","to-visit","type-to-visit","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-city","attraction-categ-natural-wonders-parks","localidade-ponta-do-sol","regioes_turisticas_term-madeira"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v28.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Paul da Serra \u2014 Madeira | Real Dreams<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Paul da Serra, Madeira: the island&#039;s highland plateau at about 1,500 metres, with wind farms, moorland walks and Raba\u00e7al trails.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/realdreams.pt\/de\/sehenswertes\/paul-da-serra\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Paul da Serra\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Paul da Serra, Madeira: the island&#039;s highland plateau at about 1,500 metres, with wind farms, moorland walks and Raba\u00e7al trails.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/realdreams.pt\/de\/sehenswertes\/paul-da-serra\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Real Dreams\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/realdreams.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/paul-da-serra.webp\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1065\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/webp\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Gesch\u00e4tzte Lesezeit\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1\u00a0Minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/realdreams.pt\\\/attractions-to-visit\\\/paul-da-serra\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/realdreams.pt\\\/attractions-to-visit\\\/paul-da-serra\\\/\",\"name\":\"Paul da Serra \u2014 Madeira | Real Dreams\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/realdreams.pt\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/realdreams.pt\\\/attractions-to-visit\\\/paul-da-serra\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/realdreams.pt\\\/attractions-to-visit\\\/paul-da-serra\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/realdreams.pt\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/paul-da-serra.webp\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-10-31T09:22:52+00:00\",\"description\":\"Paul da Serra, Madeira: the island's highland plateau at about 1,500 metres, with wind farms, moorland walks and Raba\u00e7al trails.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/realdreams.pt\\\/attractions-to-visit\\\/paul-da-serra\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"de\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/realdreams.pt\\\/attractions-to-visit\\\/paul-da-serra\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"de\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/realdreams.pt\\\/attractions-to-visit\\\/paul-da-serra\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/realdreams.pt\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/paul-da-serra.webp\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/realdreams.pt\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/paul-da-serra.webp\",\"width\":1600,\"height\":1065,\"caption\":\"The highland moor of Paul da Serra with its wind farms.
