If you are travelling by public transport, take the city bus towards Oostvaardersbuurt from the Almere Buiten train station. Get off at the Seizoenenbuurt Noord stop. From there, it is a 15-minute walk to the Hugo de Vriesweg. That is where the Fluitbos begins, and 5 minutes later the Jan v/d Bospad with a view over the Oostvaardersplassen.
