Since the weather is pleasant in the morning, we decide on the less crowded Celovska Spica and Svacica. Starting point at Tinčkova hut, then left through Zagon, where the path occasionally gets lost in the forest, especially above the hunting hut. I advise good observation of the surroundings, as there are quite a few cairns that lead us higher to the path which joins the poor path from the Hut at the source of Završnica over Šija saddle. Further the path is well visible and trodden. When we reach the entrance to Skledo, signs correctly direct us towards Svacica, but we continue for a while on the poorly visible path towards Stol (snow), then directly towards the state border along the gully to the saddle under Celovska Spica (Orlice). From here we continue along the border ridge, after a few minutes of steep climbing it seems we're in a dead end. We continue through a narrow passage between two rocks, the passage is visible only when we step through it, then a path appears on the steep northern side (slip hazard), after a few meters of climbing we spot a cable, with which we climb to right under the summit with the cross. Later we find out the cable is the lightning conductor of the cross, so I advise climbing the last three meters instead of along the lightning conductor to the right of the boulder and not right under the cross. On the top there are two crosses set up, the logbook box with book is on the one meter lower and nicer cross (2109m), a few meters further there's just a provisional cross (2110m) with border stone.
We descend the same path and continue towards Svacica over Belščica saddle. Soon we reach the summit, which is entirely on the neighboring side about 30m from the state border. We descend the same path past the saddle, but not to the branch for Stol, but a bit earlier we cut across a shortcut namely along the scree right under the unnamed peak between Celovska Spica and Svacica and reach back to the path by the big boulder. Then to Šija saddle, from there to the Hut at the source of Završnica and to the starting point at Tinčkova hut, where a few drops of rain splash us, above the peaks where we were it's already properly thundering and flashing.
