Legends and tales of the Harz Mountains, A Historical Tale., part 1, sentence 3

Its position is fascinating, surrounded on three sides by high wooded mountains, with a wide view open to the south, which was then probably partially shut out by the primeval dense forests, now, however, extending over the little mining town of Gittelde and the picturesque mountain landscape to Osterode and the high-seated Schloss Herzberg.

Who acts: position, primeval dense forests · What happens: be, surround, wood, shut out, extend, seat · To what, where: three sides, wide view, little mining town
