The Orthodox cemetary

Have you heard about merchant Lisitzin and his family’s grave chapel? About Russian soldiers and prisoners of the discipline camp in the forest – all buried at Vaasa’s (Greek) Orthodox cemetery, founded in 1823.

No arranged transport.
You can take local bus lines 1, 2, and 5 from the city center to Ristinummi. From the nearest bus stop, it is about 700 meters to the cemetery. Lifti: https://www.vaasa.fi/en/living/traffic-and-streets/public-transport/bus-schedules-and-routes//
