A small shelter cave in the Diabelskie Rocks on Czerwona Góra, 3 m long, described in 2001.
The Shelter in Czerwona Góra Second, also called the Spring Shelter (Schronisko Wiosenne), is a small cave in the Diabelskie Rocks (Diable Skały) on Czerwona Góra, in the Wieliczka Foothills. Administratively it lies in Zakliczyn, in Siepraw municipality. It is 3 m long with a vertical range of 1.5 m, and the opening is about 25 m above the valley floor, at an altitude of 300 m above sea level.
The shelter formed on a rock fissure as a result of gravitational sliding. It is fully lit, with mosses growing at the opening. A few butterflies and spiders live in it, and bat guano was found on the floor. It was described in 2001 by R. Suski under the name Spring Shelter, and in 2003 it was given its present designation.
From road no. 967, beyond the bridge about a kilometre south-west of the junction with the road to Wieliczka, a walking and cycling trail to the rocks begins. The Diable Skały can be seen from the trail on the right-hand side, and a path with steps and a handrail leads to them. The land belongs to the State Forests. In the area lies Lake Dobczyce.
