Punta Paulinu belongs to the Gennargentu mountain range. It is part of the main mountain ridge, made up of the five highest peaks on the island (Punta La Marmora, Bruncu Spina, Punta su Sciusciu and Punta Florisa). Being the lowest of them, Punta Paulinu compensates for this lack of height with its wilder nature. Unlike the other peaks, the summit requires some simple climbing and is located right in the center of the ridge. It therefore offers a beautiful panoramic view of the four nearby mountains.

Hiking

If you reach Punta Paulinu from Mount Bruncu Spina by walking on the high path, as you approach the rocky peak you can see on the left (towards the south-east) the famous rock formation called "Arcu Gennargentu", which is a set of three rocks that it forms a natural arch overlooking Mount Bruncu Spina on one side and the Sardinian panorama to the east.
