Help reading German passport book

[ziggy2]

Hi,
  I have a picture of my gr-gr grandfather Anton Neuhauser passport book, I believe?
I can't read German and am very interested to find out what it says.
In the book it shows that he traveled to lots of interesting places.
It looks like there is a lot of valuable information that I can use.
Can anyone help?
I have attached a picture of the first page of his book.

An old German text describes Friedland Castle as being situated '15 miles from Prague, 9 miles from Jung-Bunzlau (Mlada Boleslav), 2 miles from the city of Zittau in Saxony and one mile from the border'.

This must be the modern Czech city of Frydlant, close to the German and Polish borders.

Wikipedia tells us that 1 Bohemian Meile equals 11,300m, i.e. about 7 standard miles.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hallo, Debbie,
I have found your post recently, and I wonder if you have some more information on Anton Neuhauser from Friedland. Part of my family comes from this area (and I work there nowadays), Julian Neuhauser (1816 - 1889) was my grand-grand-grandfather and I have some photos of him and his family by Anton Neuhauser Photoatelier in Friedland. So, I think, they might be relatives?
Some pictures: , ,
Can we mail? ^(*) Greetings from Friedland!
