Ideas for a week long active holiday with teens in Europe

We have a week at the end of August and would like to do something active- maybe water sports, wildlife viewing, hiking etc. We already have a week visiting friends in Morzine and have visited the Alps loads so would love somewhere different. We aren’t keen on big resorts and teens don’t go in for organised clubs. Happy to use a company or to book ourselves. We are moderately adventurous, I think. We have a decent but not luxury budget.

We have 7 nights with DD17 and DS14. Both active but not sporty. Both love nature, mountains, lakes and the coast, DS likes boats but not a holiday requirement.

Any recommendations would be great 😊

Lake Bled area? Tatra mountains? They are old enough for safari....

Thank you. We loved Slovenia and visited Namibia last summer. But Slovakia a good shout- it’s been on my radar for a while. I’ve heard the mountains are gorgeous.

What’s your budget?

Sorry, I should have said about budget. Less than about £6k if possible, but could go up to 8k.
