The Skat is a river in the western Danubian Plain of northern Bulgaria. With a length of 134 km, it is a right tributary of the Ogosta. The Skat takes its source at an altitude of 556 m north of the summit of Manyashki Vrah in the Veslets Ridge of the fore-Balkan. It initially flows east to the village of Gorno Peshtene and then turns north. Downstream from the latter the river gradient becomes very low and the Skar forms numerous meanders. It that section the river is 5–10 m wide with sandy bottom. It flows into the Ogosta at an altitude of 29 m some three kilometers from the latter's confluence with the Danube. The river used to flow directly in the Danube but its lowermost course was diverted during the construction of the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant. Its drainage basin covers a territory of 1,074 km2.
