For me, the observation tower, next to the Reindersmeer, is the highlight in the Maasduinen Nat`l Park. You may have to push your bike up a few meters to reach the tower (sandy path), but it's worth it. In any case, one should also go up the tower.

View of Quin Heath Ponds

Highlight • Viewpoint

In addition to the Reindersmeer, the Quin area and the area around the nearby lookout tower is the highlight of the national park, at least in my opinion.
Right now in August a carpet of erica / heather.
